Whether my source of entertainment is a novel, a movie, or a vibrant play, I want to experience a strong heroine. This is true for all readers. Who wants to get involved in pages and pages of a weak, whining woman who never changes or grows and needs (usually a man) to rescue her? Readers want to slip their feet into the glass slipper of experience, and that means providing them with a superior adventure.
I write romantic suspense, and a strong heroine is essential for all my novels. But this type of woman is critical for all genres. She’s fixed in my mind long after her role is finished. I want to be her! This enigma challenges me to understand what makes her credible and likable.
