And when one of her women is pitted against a strong man, then I feel a story is about to exciting and hold my interest. To date she has never disappointed me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861656250279232422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983741341986557.post-30977162467498896962015-12-16T09:45:27.800-08:002015-12-16T09:45:27.800-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mary Anne Landershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846610621610508819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983741341986557.post-49457811557735533812015-12-16T09:44:56.326-08:002015-12-16T09:44:56.326-08:00And thank you for asking, Amanda.

Although, I find some of the best love stories happen when a strong and independent woman can give up some of that control. A man knowing he is wanted often lends to a love that is full of both want and need. The beauty of a well written love story is to watch the h and H see, feel, and allow themselves to be lead into love because of both.

Perhaps women in these days try to be self-contained, and want to show males they are not needed. But I think they are needed for a man softens a woman's heart and gives her the completion she struggles to have alone.

That means the heroine probably needs help. And one powerful way for the hero to demonstrate his love is to help save her.<br /><br />Of course, it also works the other way around!<br /><br />Good luck.Mary Anne Landershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846610621610508819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983741341986557.post-54456177382988120892015-12-15T17:13:49.126-08:002015-12-15T17:13:49.126-08:00Hi, Juanita.

She is tri-racial; American Indian, Caucasian and African American. Zya happens to be part Cherokee so maybe this novel would interest you. The book touches on this part of her heritage and how she chooses to embrace it. No audio out yet but boy I would love that format someday. To Sandra, thanks for all the great support and you may show up in one of my books yet. Janice, I glad you like the "melting pot". I think we have it all here! And to Anonymous, I agree "girl power" is sexy and we don't need all the, punching, kicking and testosterone to prove it!

It gives the female character more strength and depth. <br />Also, I believe it to be more true to life regarding what men find attractive. Show me a guy who wants to constantly be saving his damsel in distress...gosh talk about a high maintenance date.<br />How about a heroine who saves the hero for a change?

And I love a strong heroine who can help save herself instead of being the "clinging vine" type of heroine.

Though its also nice to see the inverse as well or even have them saving each other! LOL<br /><br />Amanda, are you considering writing about the native American Indians at all? I have recently greatly enjoyed books on this topic reviewed here.<br /><br />Also, do you have plans for audio editions of your books ....

I like the fact that a strong women comes from lack of the right help from men. When one happens along with genuine concern and help, it's almost over looked. But a smart women will see it for what it is and take it as it is meant to be given.
