According to Tami Cowden there are 8 main Hero Archetypes in Romantic Fiction.
I thought I would test this theory with a few examples, and today's example is:
Hero Archetype 2. THE BAD BOY
'The BAD BOY: dangerous to know, he walks on the wild side. This is the rebel, or the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. He’s bitter and volatile, a crushed idealist, but he's also charismatic and street smart.'
Um, I can think of a few hero candidates that could apply to...
Now. Back to the WIP and creating one of my own.

Ooh. The third pic works for me. (Except I am supposed to be writing a Greek and a Welshman and a Sheik first...)
Someone, somewhere, probably has a joke which begins with those three guys in a pub!
I could have added the classics here - James Dean, young Marlon Brando, Errol Flyn for those of a certain age. SO MUCH CHOICE!
Have fun with your Greek - I have a Greek island story noodling in my brain at the moment, so there may be a Greek Hero post coming up. :-)
The top one works for me......who is he??
Hi Liz. A Greek actor/model called Alexis - I have a greek island story lurking in the background.
More pics to come!
:-)
Look forward to it!
