Regardless of the ethnicity of my characters, I do try to write universal stories. My heroines, my characters, run the gamut of every emotion, from jealousy to happiness, to sorrow to regret, to anger.
What differentiates one character for another is simply the intensity of these emotions. How the character reacts or responds to situations, circumstances or people around them.
My heroines are, for better or for worse, measured and composed in their approach to everything around them. But even more than that, my heroines have a very strong sense of self. They are completely comfortable in their own skin, and they don't need any validation whatsoever. This is why first impressions is very important to my heroines.
They are quick to put up walls and to distance themselves from those that they distrust. This does not mean that my heroines are cold or detached, on the contrary. It simply means they have a sixth sense of the people about them; the people around them - and they are very seldom wrong.
However, sometimes, they are wrong. And they get it wrong in the most fantastic way. But the journey to the reconciliation, to the understanding and the love in my stories is exactly what makes MPC Romantic Fiction interesting.
Their journey, the twists and turns makes for an interesting dynamic.
