Tuesday - Looking at Heroes -- My many types of heroes #MFRWauthor #Heroes #writing

I've been writing for a long time and I've written many kinds of heroes. I believe doctors head the list of my kind of heroes, But there are others. There is a newspaper reporter, a cop or two, several nurses, wizards and fighters. One series takes place in an alternate ancient Egypt. One of the heroes is a student priest, another an undercover cop from the present and the other an Egyptian warrior. I've had a music composer, a doctor turned writer and many more.

What about you? Do you have the same type of hero in most of your books or do you search for other careers?

Tuesday - Looking at Heroes - Beta Man #MFRWauthor #Heroes #Beta man

Now we've dismissed the Alpha man as a hero since he has some unheroic traits, let's look at the Beta man. He will be sympathetic and not try to take over. He makes a great friend and someone who will keep the heroine's secrets. Sounds nice but as a hero, he can be weak and lacking.  So what can we do? Not Alpha or Beta as heroes.

A Beta hero can be pushed around. He can be too sympathetic.  As a friend he will be wonderful,
