Raine Balkera - Romance Author

It's Tuesday again, and that means another fun and informative blog hop involving Romance Novelists and the questions asked of their craft. Thank you for hopping on over after a visit to  Patti Fiala . This week, Xio Axelrod poses the following: Readers always ask "How much of yourself do you lend to your characters?" Here's your chance to answer. What traits do your characters have that come from you? And if not you, someone in your life. This is another great question, and I hope my answer is just as great while also being informative yet succinct. A little. I should probably expound just a little, too. As for me personally, not much of myself goes into my fictional characters. Well, it is true that I'm involved when it comes to things such as likes, dislikes, preferences, and hobbies. I'm very particular about certain things, and my characters tend to be that way, too. But, I don't like that it does and work hard to elimin...

Hello again, and thank you for hopping over from J.J. Devine 's blog. This week, Victoria Barbour wants us to 'show' the cast of our most recent book or WIP. For those of you who don't know, I'm not into Hollywood or modern movies aside from the Marvel series, and my television experience includes nothing more than The Musketeers, Vikings, and Project Runway (not exactly Hollywood). I have watched all of the 007 movies, and I do have a few favorites from the 80's, but I am more inclined to watch TCM than anything modern, hip, or today. Heck, if someone from Hollywood or the music scene were to bump into me on the street, I wouldn't know them from Adam's off ox. When I conjure up characters, they are usually people I know and whom I then embellish or make worse than they are in reality. That ISN'T to say I don't partake in the joyous pastime known as Pinterest and all things hunk, muscle, eyes, hair, etc. :D I've created a Mal...

호구의 사랑 / Hogooeui Sarang AKA: Ho Gu's Love / Fool's Love / Fool for You Genre: Romance, comedy Episodes: 16 Network: tvN Broadcast: 2015-Feb through Mar Synopsis A romantic comedy drama that depicts Kang Ho Goo, who never had a girlfriend and has no dating techniques. He meets his first love -- a member of the national swim team -- Do Do Hee and gets involved in a complicated love/friend relationship. Main Cast UEE as Do Do Hee (A swimmer, Asian Games silver medalist) Choi Woo Shik as Kang Ho Goo (artist, dreamer, lover) This was worth the watch AND the wait for episode uploads. At first, I didn't care for UEE and thought that Ho Goo's twin sister did a better, more believable job portraying the bad-ass, ugly duckling with the opposite attitude. But as the show progressed, I managed to get past UEE's huge eyes and fat cheeks, and that deadpan, I really don't give a shit vibe she carried throughout and started to enjoy her on-screen time ...
