Hi Anna, Imagine you were a character in one of your books, and Author Anna was prepared to do a bit of a rewrite for you. Which of your heroes is the one you'd run away with? Lexi
Anna Faversham
Oh ouch, Lexi, this is not easy. I’ll give it a go. So the choice of heroes has to be taken from:
Daniel in One Dark Night: He immediately leaps out as a possible favourite. Blond, physically well built because he is a farmer, and not afraid to tackle those who should be tackled! He protects Lucy in ways she does not know. And he has an adorable dog. On the down side, he’s the leader of a pack of smugglers – he’s an outlaw. This could turn out to be a bad decision.
Karl in One Dark Night: A fine, upstanding, wealthy man who tackles various ills in society, including the slave trade. He also hovers to ensure Lucy is safe. Yet he is driven, initially, by revenge and it is not until that revenge is satisfied that he allows his good values in life to drive him. But drive he does and the world is a better place for this. A life of luxury with an admirable man awaits if I choose him.
Adam in Hide in Time, 19th century: Tall, dark, very good-looking. Misjudged. Saddled with a seemingly dozy father and a covetous brother with many failings, he strides the stage, keeping the family afloat. Time is not on his side but nothing stops him from bringing those he loves to a happy ending. He's also a front-runner to run away with. I'm not sure he'd run away though.
Matt in Hide in Time, 21st century: Despite being tall, dark and handsome, he is ignored by Laura as a possible suitor and has to put up with her trying to fix everyone else’s paths in life. He patiently waits until she is ready and in the meantime he continues with his clandestine life as the saviour of marine life in far flung oceans. Oh yes, I like him.
Chester in Immortality: This is Probably a Novel: An investigative journalist. A definite hero. Someone who seeks out criminals and brings them to justice. Charismatic. Copes with amazing, yes amazing, difficulties and never forgets the girl he’s been forced to leave behind. Not easily swayed. A man like him is a rarity. Definitely not boring.
Nick in Mistake in Time: Dr Nicolo Nylander, with his Italian charm, high intelligence, courage, loyalty, leadership and so much more, must surely be at the top of any pile of heroes.
How does any woman make that once-in-a-lifetime choice from these heroes? I could mull over this for a very long time, but I’ll opt to run away with a man who cares for others - Daniel and his dog. (Gentlemen, apparently the female of the species can often fall for a nice dog and then it rubs off onto the owner - or so I've been told!)

Anna Faversham:
When you look back, Anna, I wonder what were the biggest surprises in your writing career? Mine, I think, was getting over 6000 'likes' from a promotion in India, which just blew me away... as did the next discovery: the 'likes' didn't result in a single sale...
