Ten ways to tell you're reading a story by me:
1. A brooding protagonist, sometimes an outcast with a tragic past, sometimes just broody.
2. A sexy secondary protagonist who tries to tease the brooder out of it, sometimes with a tragic past of his/her own, sometimes just impatient with melodrama.
3. Lurve.
4. Somebody is probably going to have sex, sometimes rather a lot of it.
5. The stakes will be life and death--or maybe just dire embarrassment.
6. Colorful secondary characters who threaten to take over the story.
7. Somebody will probably be a freakin' artist of some sort.
8. Myths will be involved or invoked.
9. Often a contemporary setting or a contemporary mixed with historical.
10. The nature of reality will be questioned.

Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril.
No, it's too much.
Bet you're gay.
No, I'm not!
