I am a huge Richard Armitage fan and don't remember the "Standring" reference. Is that the surname of his Sparkhouse character??

The reviews really do get under the skin of the books. :)Phillipa Ashleyhttp://www.phillipa-ashley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-997060581502551518.post-12243706182880312062008-08-13T10:59:16.000-04:002008-08-13T10:59:16.000-04:00I think you translated perfectly what I was trying...I think you translated perfectly what I was trying to say about Josh (which would make perfect sense since he is your creation!).

Or at least change my job! Thanks, Phillipa!

I can't really discuss them here because I'm going to give away too manhy spoilers - maybe in Another PLace?<br><br>Josh - I see him more as having uncompromising ideals rather than morally upright. He's had a second chance in life, a hard life too and that's made him see things in a rather polarised way. Which of course, is his flaw... As for Nick. Spot on. But then he has also been corrupted by the world around him.<br><br>As for settings - I write about places I love and I've just about run out. My OH sails and windsurfs - he's not bad - but I've seen plenty of guys who are brilliant at it, which has made for good research.<br><br>Anyway, I vowed some time ago never to take my books too seriously! So I'll shut up and just be glad you enjoyed it.Phillipa Ashleyhttp://www.phillipa-ashley.comnoreply@blogger.com
