Tara Saunders finds it odd to write about herself in the third person She doesn't think the convention is morally objectionable as such, so she's going along with it good-naturedly.

She's sure that she's done lots of interesting things in her life, but every one of them leaked out her ears the moment she sat at her keyboard to write about them. While her mental gears are frantically whirring, she hopes you'll be content to know that she lives in a little cottage in the West of Ireland with her hordes of children and an overabundance of elderly dogs.

She hopes you'll come and chat to her on Twitter at @_Tara_Saunders_ or on Facebook at StormChildBooks. Even better, join her mailing list on www.tarasaunders.com, and not only will you be treated

Hmmm. First answer is Cordelia Naismith and Aral Vorkosigan from Lois McMaster Bujold's early Vor books.

I like that they're in their late thirties/forties when they get together, with all the baggage and life experiences that this implies. They aren't clean-slate young lovers and that's okay. Bujold acknowledges this in the story, and makes it a strength rather than a weakness.

I also love that despite their rock-solid interpersonal relationship, their marriage is put under strain by forces from outside. This is realistic and also makes for great tension in the story. I was simultaneously rooting for them throughout and also wanting Cordelia to slice Aral into a thousand pieces.

And that's my answer. What's yours?(less)
