That's a tough one. I love how the relationship developed between Roarke and Dallas in the JD Robb "In Death" series. Mercy and Adam from Patricia Briggs' "Mercy Thompson" series and Kitty and Ben from Carrie Vaughn's "Kitty Norville" series are also favourites. I think I like all three couples because you can feel the chemistry between them. It wasn't just "insta-love", they had to work at it. I like that they have become partners, neither person taking a lesser role to the other, they work as a team. I also like that they aren't perfect. They have disagreements and butt heads occasionally, but they always have each other's back.

My most recent work is The Harry Russo Diaries and I have to admit, the idea just sort of popped into my head one day. Actually, the opening scene for the first book, Dead and Kicking, is what popped into my head. It's kind of a spoiler, so I can't divulge much, but the interaction that occurred between Harry and her grandmother sort of set up the character of Harry for me. From there I just started thinking about her and what she would be like and what could happen to her and voila! I had a story. Okay, so it's really not that easy, but it just goes to show that your inspiration can come from anywhere, you just have to run with it and see where it takes you.
