As an author, inspiration comes to me in many forms. In a dream, a beautiful picture, a brief incident that blossoms into a story. Sometimes I'll come up with the title first and write a story around that. Mountains, the ocean, a sunset also help inspire me to write. Romance can blossom from anywhere if you let your imagination take you there.

Finding the perfect characters for my story comes in the same way. The piercing blue eyes of a stranger. A sexy smile. The fighting spirit of a young woman. Pictures help, especially when I'm looking for ideas for a hunky new hero. And what better way for fueling my imagination than looking at man candy? I thought I'd treat you to some of the man candy I've posted on my blog on Mondays. Would any of these inspire you?
