You’re probably looking at the title going huh? There’s a fake alpha? Well, I’d like to think so. I’m sure the fake alpha can also be referred to as a Gamma… but for the purpose of this blog I’m going to call him the fake alpha.

What is a fake alpha? My interpretation is: Someone who appears on the outside to be a domineering, forward, take charge man, but on the inside might be acting that way for forms sake, but isn't necessarily as confident as he seems.

Did I confuse everyone? LOL That’s about how I feel--confused and frustrated. I’m currently revising my composer book. And Thaddeus is about to have a makeover. He is a beta through and through. (And the only beta I’ve ever written.) I love a good beta and alpha like any woman, but for Thaddeus this is serious flaw in his make-up. So… I have to turn him into a fake alpha. It's a fine line to walk when making changes though, because it's easy to turn him into an alpha, but in doing so, I'd lose the essential characteristics that make him such a great guy.

Are there any books you’ve read that have a fake alpha that you would recommend? Maybe the hero acts like an alpha in public settings, but that is just a show he is putting on. Maybe you’ve read an alpha that is unsure of himself? Or just not the domineering type and will let things be as they are. Do any writers out there have any suggestions?

It's great to be 29 again, isn't it? Everyone join us in wishing Kristina a very happy birthday. May it be filled with requests, writing accomplishments, hot men, finished books, great queries, hot men, chocolate, champagne (cause we girls all like the champagne), cake (this has nothing to do with the chocolate, you have to have both simply because it's your birthday) and hot men. I know I said that three times, but third time is always a charm--maybe they'll magically appear? :)

LOVE THE VIXENS!

This is going to be a quickie today. My internet connection is fickle these days. If I manage to get this blog to load on the net, it will be a miracle.

I have new shiny coverflats that are beyond gorgeous of my second book. The title and name are in red foil and it's just so darned pretty I find myself staring at it for the heck of it.


What kind of swag do you like? I got lots from the conference. I brought home my friends bookmarks so I can include them in my mailings. I have some books that I'll be giving away in the upcoming weeks, too.

My favorite author giveaway is bookmarks. I can't get enough of them. And I need a stockpile, because I do lose them or sometimes bend them and then I can't use them anymore.

So dear blog readers, tell me what you like most from an author, what you don't like (and by that I mean the stuff you throw out in the long run), and stuff you can't do without. :)

One lucky commenters will win a coverflat of The Seduction of His Wife, and another will win the coverflat of The Surrender of a Lady.
