Captain's Log, Supplemental
I totally love the TV show Chuck. Captain Caffeine and I are completely hooked.
I think it’s because the main character, Chuck, is such a geek. I love geek heroes. Maybe because I’m very happily married to one. I like the combination of smart and a little unsure.
(Okay, I also admit I think Adam Baldwin is terrific and will watch anything he’s in. He was hilarious in Firefly, and he's just as funny in Chuck.)
I like how Chuck, Super-geek, likes Sarah, kick-butt CIA agent. I’m rooting for the underdog to get the pretty girl. He deserves her! He’s sweet and smart and sensitive.
I just realized that I write a lot of geek heroes. I think Drake in book 3 of my Sushi series is the first truly Alpha male hero I’ve written yet. Even the hero in one of my old (unpublished) manuscripts, a romantic suspense, is a more withdrawn type rather than an aggressive Alpha male.
I love geeks! Geeks rule!
How about you? What kinds of heroes do you like in your stories? (If I like your ideas, I might ask to use them in a future story.)

I don't think I have a favorite type of hero. I like the geeks as well as the alpha males.
I couldn't help myself! I just dropped by for a quick visit to your blog, and I saw Chuck and had to give my two cents. :) I adore Chuck! The show is such a riot, and like you love to see the geek get the girl. :) I confess that I started watching because the guy who plays Bryce Larkin was on another show I really enjoyed: Traveler. But Chuck (and Adam Baldwin's witty retorts) kept me coming back week after week, and I'm addicted now. Glad to know I'm not alone in loveing this great show! Hope you have a wonderful day!
While I love a great alpha male I also love to see a different male hero. One that might not be a total babe, wealthy and perfect. Maddox in Splitting Harriet by Tamara Leigh is a great example and karen Ball managed to pull it off brilliantly in What Lies Within - Rafe is now one of my all time favourites. He is an alpha male in the sense he was in the Special Forces but he was injured and now walks with a cane and has become a coffee barista! Strength and vulnerablity - what more could you ask for - LOL!!!
