Yesterday I got together with my new critique group and worked out some more of the plot for my next Sensory Ops book. It’s strange for me to have an official critique group as I’m a bit of a loner, but we’ll see how I do with this. I’m looking forward to it.

After yesterday I am ready to start on this story, but it occurs to me that I’m missing something I will likely need. Jokes. My heroine is a smart mouthed, sometimes dirty minded, gal. I guess I sort of see her as Kit De Luca from Pretty Woman. She doesn’t dress like a hooker, but she’s bold and likes to push the envelope. She’s a bit brash and says what’s on her mind. The fun part of this will be that she is going to be paired with a conservative scientist sort of guy, and I think she’s going to have to work to draw out his fun side. To top it off, this man has a name that he…well, hates. In fact, no one uses his name. Few even know it. Ava will however not only know his name, but she will torment him by dropping hints about his name until he pins her down to stop. I’m looking for fun and creative ways to pick on him. If you missed the blog where I first talked about him, this man’s name is Hermes (after the Greek god.)

So, if you come up with anything you think I can use, I would love to hear from you. I know you guys have some wicked minds, so don’t be shy.
