I want the animal to be there for a bigger reason than just showing that the hero or heroine are animal lovers. I want it to further the plot in some way.<br /><br />That said, I love books that feature an animal as the main character -- Black Beauty was a major fave when I was a kid :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-51703578567727220032011-01-29T17:26:49.275+11:002011-01-29T17:26:49.275+11:00Love love love! animals in stories.

We've just adopted a new cat from the SPCA last week so its interesting times as she fits in with the other animals (cat and bunnies).<br />Huge congrats on the baby, Soraya. 2011 sounds pretty darned good for you so far!Jo Gravesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-41767156674057919872011-01-29T15:52:02.246+11:002011-01-29T15:52:02.246+11:00Congratulations on your new baby!!

I happen to have 4 cats at the moment but I've had 7 at one time (and a couple of dogs) and I also care for feral cats. So my vote is definitely yes!catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-3417825861818295282011-01-29T14:28:15.994+11:002011-01-29T14:28:15.994+11:00Sorry it's taken me so long to get back here! ...Sorry it's taken me so long to get back here!

And have to agree with Rachel - Robyn Grady's book, Naughty Nights - it was fantastic.

Problem is, the fish won't stay in his bowl so Mitch asks Vanessa for a house call. It's funny and sweet and sexy. Loved it. =)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-81304977319600414442011-01-28T18:22:17.920+11:002011-01-28T18:22:17.920+11:00Congrats on your bouncing bub, Soraya.

But it's hard to think of one that could go into some glam apartment setting - tropical fish just don't seem as cute somehow! ;)<br />Love the pic of your gorgeous dog by the way!!!Natalie Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865508188630650384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-71434112096793012622011-01-28T15:33:21.917+11:002011-01-28T15:33:21.917+11:00I love stories with animals in them.

...Yay on your first post with us, Soraya! Welcome!<br /><br />I'm a huge animal lover, like you, and animals frequently find their way into my books. I love to read books with animals in them -- I think that's one of the reasons I like Jennifer Crusie so much (that, and her sense of humour!)<br /><br />Enjoy your little boy!Emily Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958085922194448672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-76568107099400052142011-01-28T14:49:09.662+11:002011-01-28T14:49:09.662+11:00Love that picture of the dog, Soraya - is he/she y...Love that picture of the dog, Soraya - is he/she yours. Anyway he's the picture of bliss, isn't he!<br /><br />I'm definitely a fan of animals in stories! Always have come to think of it! My favourite stories as a child ALWAYS had animals in them and preferably horses!<br /><br />So I'm looking forward to your stories with the gorgeous animal characters. <br /><br />Congratulations on your wonderful little newborn boy!<br /><br />:)<br />SharonSharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.com
