Sometimes writing has taught me to alter my thinking.<br /><br />In my last book, I don't know what possessed me to make Riley Pendare a motorcycle-riding, dagger-wearing tough guy with tattoo sleeves. That is NOT the type of hero I am usually drawn to. He came out of nowhere, proved himself, and encouraged me to look at people differently.<br /><br />Last week in the doctor's office, I was intensely aware of a big, muscular, tattooed guy in motorcycle gear who was waiting behind me at the receptionist's window. I had to change an appointment, and I explained it was due to a conflict with a retirement party they were throwing me at work. It took way too long for the receptionist to wrangle the computer into changing the appointment, and when it finally surrendered, I stepped aside with relief.<br /><br />"All yours," I told the scary guy behind me.<br /><br />"Thank you," he said politely. "And congratulations."<br /><br />I beamed. In my head, I chalked one up to Riley.<br /><br />Hurray for the Patriot Guard Riders.Dianne K.
