My Favorite Weapon-Wielding Hero

You know you have one, and so have I.

For now, he's Jon Snow (Kit Harington) of HBO's Game of Thrones., who inspired the hero of my romantic suspense, The Bastard's Blade. Before that, and for a couple of decades, he was Jamie Fraser of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, until I created my own new favorite hero.
