Please follow a fab blog hop that celebrates the favorite supporting characters of some authors you love already and some of have yet to meet. Personally, I am on Friday, December 9, but I encourage you to visit the authors’ posts listed below to learn more of the best of the best. Each post will appear on Helen Hollick’s “Of History and Kings” Blog.
We all know the protagonist is the hero (or anti-hero!) of a novel. He or she usually has a companion main character, often the ‘love interest’ or maybe the stalwart side-kick, but what about that next rank down: the supporting role guy or gal? You know, the one who doesn’t get Best Actor, but Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars. I thought it time that some of these supporting cast characters had a chance to step from the shadows of novels and have a turn in the limelight.
PLUS! something for the intrepid author to answer. Each author can invite six fictional characters (not their own!) to Christmas Dinner – who will they invite?
Here are our participating authors – but who will be their Supporting Role Characters? Join us each day!

I will be featuring one of my favorite characters, Adam Lawrence, Viscount Stafford, who has made an appearance in nearly a dozen of my books: The Phantom of Pemberley, His American Heartsong, A Touch of Velvet, A Touch of Grace, A Touch of Mercy, A Touch of Love, A Touch of Honor, and Mr. Darcy’s Bargain. Adam received his own book in His Irish Eve. He is something of a scoundrel, but I am certain you will learn to love him as much as I do.
Every Woman Dreams... 
Regina, what an interesting blog hop. I will try to follow and I will definitely come visit you. I miss the series and have thought many times to read back through. I am excited to revisit the viscount.
I adore Adam Lawrence, Becky, and I love the idea of a character who connects several books.
