I've noticed a trend in the books I write lately. The hero or heroine or both have siblings they're willing to protect with their own lives. The brother is in jail for murder and the heroine's trying to find the real killer or the sister's a runaway and the brother's trying to save her before something terrible happens. See the plots are different but the themes are the same.
In several newsletter articles and blogs I've read, editors were worried with the trend of protagonists not having living parents. Hmm. Most of mine are living. The few who have one missing, it's usually the mom. Does that say something about me? I guess I need to watch that. LOL!
From what I understand, most authors unconsciously stick to a theme for their books. Something to do with our psyche. Maybe my next book won't have any siblings, but the hero and heroine will have both parents.
