In one scene of the story the heroine touches the hero's ear and is surprised not to find points. His ears are smooth. He says, "I'm not that kind of elf." Her reply? "I was hoping you'd bake me some cookies later." LOL. Of course, Gunnar didn't get the joke.Adele Duboishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975297711548126595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-3131854652013742472010-04-12T11:48:55.558-04:002010-04-12T11:48:55.558-04:00Adele--I'd heard that about angels.

I'm so glad you all came to read my guest blog.<br /><br />I've heard that angels will be "the new vampires" in fiction. Maybe my pre-Christian angels, Nordic Light Elves, will catch on as a new take on the trend. Since Nordic Light Elves are pagan, they also fit very nicely into the more sensual stories I write. The story came very naturally to me.<br /><br />I do love my DO ME GOOD hero, Gunnar, and hope readers love him, too. <br /><br />For excerpts, check out my website at www.adeledubois.com/ and also the Ellora's Cave site.<br /><br />Best--<br />Adele DuboisAdele Duboishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975297711548126595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-25308161516369803272010-04-12T11:24:30.144-04:002010-04-12T11:24:30.144-04:00Adele,

But, we did and still do celebrate with Danish traditions: garlands of Danish flags on the Christmas tree along with heart-shaped woven baskets filled with goodies, pebbern nodder, klejner, and Danish coffee cake to eat. I used to belong to a Danish folk dance group, too. :)<br /><br />Denmark is pretty. It looks a lot like Iowa (except for the ocean), so I know why Grandpa settled here.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831144769121001738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217012316587200736.post-53617695600161045772010-04-12T09:46:59.413-04:002010-04-12T09:46:59.413-04:00Deb--Are you Danish?
