Another day, and another blow-out fight with SO. He's not my husband, even though we've been together for six years. Not even close, much to my chagrin. But that's neither here nor there right now.

I have so many issues with this guy, and it occurred to me that I created the character of Ryan to provide me with some sort of escape from my problems I have with him. He's controlling, temperamental and a big baby. He's like a lot of the romantic heroes, only he's not going to change with the power of love. Of course, he can also be gentle, sweet, protective and strong, so he's not totally awful.

So, I am off to work on Book Three, to bring me back with the one man who consistently brings me happiness - Ryan. If only I could meet an actual Ryan....Sigh.
