I wonder why everyone who writes about weres always makes it about the Alpha? Why not the beta...Or a warrior? Then there are the stories about "just a 'typical' girl". There is no such thing as a typical girl. Everyone is unique and special. The billionaire or the millionaire...who meets them? Why not a good man, dirt poor who fights tooth and nail for his family. Books, like songs or poetry, should be about real life so the reader can connect with the characters and relate to the story. The main difference would be that everything turns out for the best in the end. It doesn't always end well in real life, but the hope is always there that it will. Everyday heroes make great characters as they are the best of us. They put themselves out there for strangers every day and rescue those who are hurt, in danger, or alone...people who are like you and me and need a little courage or hope that life can be different from the past. Sometimes the situations are really extreme or just crazy enough to make it interesting. Exaggerated and over the top, they seem insurmountable but eventually end well. These are the ones I remember the most. They are the keepers and earn a spot on my bookshelf.
