However, I think a lot of women find politicians sexy because of the power. I did write an Intrigue once where the hero was a politician, but my editor rejected it - called the book "too slick." I'm guessing because of that darned politician.Carol Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957449133993571882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-16116406892853094342010-02-16T16:59:00.561-05:002010-02-16T16:59:00.561-05:00Hi Natasha!

I hate politics and I never thought a story about president could be sexy, until I watched Michael Douglas and Annette Bening in The American President. I love that movie! :)Natasha Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254323950791396984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-89164673132260468642010-02-15T17:10:53.295-05:002010-02-15T17:10:53.295-05:00I agree, Susan.

Nature of the business, I guess. <br /><br />I'm going to have to check out SEP's books--thanks for the tips, Danica!Cameo Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096738838240818893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-72938430920998168992010-02-15T14:26:49.683-05:002010-02-15T14:26:49.683-05:00There shouldn't be anything sexy about politic...There shouldn't be anything sexy about politicians, really. But I've been sitting here trying to think of any books that might feature politics and the only one I can come up with is Susan Elizabeth Phillip's <i>First Lady</i> which is about...well, the First Lady. It was a good book. SEP also did the Chicago Stars series with football players and I loved those!<br /><br />I think anything's up for grabs...well, maybe not the zombie thing unless the zombies aren't flesheaters but then they wouldn't be zombies, would they? Hm.

The same for professional athletes. I would never write about either of those.<br />Now about the lemur, LOL.Susan Gourley/Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.com
