Top 10 Females
As I visit blogs, talking about my new release, Out Of Line,
I like to think of other characters that have struck a chord within me. Floating
around the internet is a post that has my favorite TV males on it. I’d be
remiss if I didn’t do one for my favorite females, too, right?
Some of these women’s traits pop into my characters, whether
it be physical or they way they act when they see a spider, but here are my top
10 favorite female characters to watch. (Character names listed)
 |
| Kenzie (Daniela Ruah) NCIS: LA |
2. Beckett on Castle. I love, again
her strength in the police force, blended with her soft heart.
 |
| Max (Kat Dennings) Two Broke Girls |
3. Max on Two Broke Girls, just
because I love her dry sense of humor.
4. Jess on The New Girl. I love her
quirkiness and her I-Don’t-Care attitude.
 |
| Caroline (Candice Accolla) Vampire Diaries |
5. Caroline on Vampire Diaries. She’s
such a fun character to watch evolve. Started out kind of a mean girl, then
turned into
what she is today.
6. Snow on Once Upon a Time. I love
watching her every week.
7. Gloria on Modern Family. Man,
she’s hilarious with her mentions of how things were back home.
8. Mary on Downton Abbey. I can’t
wait to see which side of Mary we’ll see this season.
9. Joan Watson on Elementary. I love
seeing that role revamped as a woman.
10. And last, but not least, Robin on
How I Met Your Mother. She’s such a non-girly girl, yet a girl at the same
time.
So, there you have it, my favorite women to watch. What are
some of yours? Do they match up with mine?
BOOK
SUMMARY:
Desperate to break free…
I've spent my entire life under my
father’s thumb, but now I'm finally free to make my own choices. When my
roommate dragged me to my first college party, I met Finn Coram and my life
turned inside out. He knows how to break the rules and is everything I
never knew I wanted. A Marine by day and surfer by night, he pushes me
away even as our attraction brings us closer. Now I am finally free to do
whatever I want. I know what I want. I choose Finn.
Trying to play by the rules...
I always follow orders. My job, my
life, depends on it. I thought this job would be easy, all the rules were made
crystal clear, but when I met Carrie Wallington, everything got muddy. She's a
rule I know I shouldn't break, but damn if I don’t inch closer to the breaking
point each time I see her. I’m ready to step out of line. And even worse? I’m
living a lie. They say the truth will set you free, but in my case…
The truth will cost me everything.
