Thanks Shana and Sharon for a lovely passage!
I agree with you Sharon. That is a beautiful pic of Shana. I follow you on Twitter Shana which I tend to use more than anything at the moment because is quick and easy on my phone. I loved hearing about the characters in your latest book. I have one of your books on kindle on my TBR list. It’s always fun to hear an authors passion about their books and characters.
As for whether or not any character is a bad guy. IMO that always depends on their actions. We can’t judge someone by their title or status only by their actions and treatment of others. I have to agree with you when reading novels it’s fun when the ‘bad’ guy turns out to hae a big heart.
I look forward to reading your stories too!

Shana Galen

Thanks so much for stopping by, Vee. Nice to see you off twitter. I do recognize you from there. I agree that I love a twist or when a character surprises me.

lois losh

Love a bad boy hero. They are more interesting, more complex. I like that.

Shana Galen

That’s true, Lois. Usually bad boys have a reason for why they’re so bad.

Mary

…and Julie Garwood’s pirate, Pagen.

Shana Galen

I love him too. That book is so funny and charming. I love all of her historicals.

Mary

One of my favorite pirates….Johanna Lindsey’s James Malory!

Shana Galen

Yes! He’s my favorite Malory.

Joanna Moreno

Let’s put it this way, I love fictional bad boys with a redeeming quality. They have to have that soft spot for something or someone that makes you go “oh, he may not be so bad after all.” And that reckless attitude that makes you want to go against him only to prove you can, to test his boundaries. Oh, I think I’m fantasizing here LOL 🙂 *long sigh*

Shana Galen

Your fantasy is mine, Joanna. I completely agree. I think Nick has that something 🙂

Connie Terpstra Dowell

Of course, and just can’t get enough of our most recent bad boy Captain Hook! Which I never miss on Sunday night’s, “Once Upon A Time”. I can just imagine him as my pirate book boy friend. O.M.G. I’m there~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thank you so much for the giveaway. I’d adore winning your book Shana, as I have not found it at my store as yet. I just LOVE getting to know new authors this way. And then I need to go out and buy everything they ever wrote. Oh YEAH~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shana Galen

Oh, I love the actor who plays Captain Hook. So cute! The book isn’t in stores. It can be ordered, but it’s self-published and most of them aren’t carrying it. The print copy is available on BN.com and Amazon, and if you don’t win it, the ebook is only 99 cents this week.

Wow! Accidentally married to the wrong person…. and he’s a pirate. At least he’s a good pirate. I like bad boys who have a heart of gold.

Can you tell us more about the two couples who did not have such a happy fate? They shouldn’t have used a drunken anvil priest!

Thank you, Shana!

Shana Galen

June, the real couples had Joseph Paisley, the priest, do the ceremony over. Not as much fun as my story.

junewilliams7

They didn’t need to get divorced first? Whew!

Shana Galen

I don’t think so. It was all pretty informal.

Connie Terpstra Dowell

Sad, don’t have an ereader. But LOVE that printed word~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shana Galen

I do too. That’s why I made sure to do a print and digital copy of the book.

Diane Patricia Diamond

I love reading about pirates, and all their adventures. I especially love following the journey of a “bad boy” up to his redemption and “happy ever after”. Thanks for the chance to win Shana, as I adore anything that you write.

Shana Galen

Thanks, Diane! Good luck!

Joy King

I like an honorable man, whether he has a good reputation or not.

We just went to the National Geographic Society pirate exhibition in San Diego for Captain Sam Bellamy, a young gentleman pirate who pursued that profession to be able to afford to marry a woman above his station. He rescued slaves and offered freedoms. But the carnage he left behind was terrible. I appreciated in your comments, Shana, that though you are aware of the realities of the pirate life, your love of romance helps you see these events through eyes that focus on the redeemable. Good for you. Great post.

Shana Galen

Joy, that sounds like a fabulous exhibit. I definitely like to focus on the fiction aspects of pirates.

J "Joy" Dawn King

It is an exhibit that every pirate lover should see. They have a treasure chest filled with a real treasure last seen and touched in 1717 by real pirates. Amazing!

Please do not enter me in the giveaway as I couldn’t wait. It’s now on my Kindle. Thanks!

Shana Galen

Thanks, Joy! Good time to buy. It’s on sale 🙂 Enjoy.

Hi Shana & Sharon.. I like bad boys. You know they more honest, sexy, and fun. I’ve some friends and they’ re including in ‘bad boys’. I like to talk with them. They talked to me honestly, maybe it sometimes hurt but it better than they have to pretend of something.

Shana Galen

Honesty among men is not so rare as women seem to think. I’ve found men generally say what they mean, but we women don’t want to hear it!

Elizabeth Schroedle

I appreciate a bad boy hero as long as he redeems himself at the end of the story.

Shana Galen

I completely agree, Elizabeth. Redemption is the whole point, isn’t it? 🙂

Shana Galen

Thanks so much for having me, Sharon. I’ll be stopping by to chat with readers all day.
