Some people might consider it just a bit of a convenient plot device, but Asher wished with all his heart he had a choice to bond with someone other than Calista. Why? Well, I don't want to spoil it, but suffice it to say that right there and then, so far as I was concerned he was definitely on his way to becoming hero material!Maree Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329496105174788219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039726215669901937.post-73401584721893939092010-11-28T12:41:35.085+11:002010-11-28T12:41:35.085+11:00Only a couple of more days in the countdown to FRO...Only a couple of more days in the countdown to FROM THE ASHES release, Devon!

I'm also intrigued with his extra "male parts". :)devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909676864287350525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039726215669901937.post-53788544969307963742010-11-27T11:41:00.101+11:002010-11-27T11:41:00.101+11:00Rhetorical - pffst!

So if I've pulled a late night, I just wander downstairs to check they've remembered everything, and wave them off. It's taken many many years to get them to that stage, but it was sooo worth the effort. And if nothing else, when they leave home I'll know they can do breakfasts and lunches, LOL.Maree Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329496105174788219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3039726215669901937.post-1143833784341643552010-11-26T09:45:23.744+11:002010-11-26T09:45:23.744+11:00Not an early bird, Maree?

I just write that way ;-)<br /><br />Helene, Asher was a really complicated character to write. It was a fine line between him being a doormat who'd irritate the heck out of Calista, and giving enough room to grow and really develop into a hero -- not to mention convincing Calista of that fact. He was a challenge and I must say I loved every minute of him!<br /><br />Cath -- Asher's "intended" master is indeed a sadist. Which is why he's so keen on getting hold of a Phoenixae. But whether or not he gets his hands on Asher? Well, that would be telling. Suffice it to say, nothing turns out exactly as planned for any of the characters. The only sure thing? A Happy Ever After!<br /><br />Kylie -- I play with the role reversal thing again in Scent Of A Man.
