The Everyday Heroes by Margaret Daley

The Everyday Heroes

By Margaret Daley

For Love Inspired Suspense I'm writing a series about Texas Rangers, who are heroes. This August I have the fourth in the series out. Also I started a new series called Everyday Heroes. I finished a long series about Strong Women and had so much fun writing about women who went through difficult, extraordinary situations. I featured different professional women from a teacher to law enforcement officer to a woman running a rodeo company. Now I want to feature heroic men.

What makes a hero? I think of soldiers, police officer, firefighter and people like Rev. Martin Luther King. But heroes are more than their profession.  A hero can be an everyday man who does something heroic/extraordinary. I asked my readers what they thought made up a hero. Here are some of the replies:

“knows how to treat and take care of a woman”

“someone with honesty, integrity and a love for fellow human beings and animals”

“doesn’t need praise or thanks for what he’d done”

“kind, gentle person”

“loyal, self-sacrificing and protective”

“having faith in Christ”

Certain jobs (as I noted above) create situations where a man can be a hero. But I want to show not only those professions but others. In my first book in the series, Hunted. The hero, an ex-Wall Street financial advisor, Luke Michaels, owns a horse farm. He often is involved in search and rescues with his German shepherd, Shep. He’s camping by the river when he sees a woman being thrown off a high bridge by two men. He doesn’t think twice. He runs through the woods and dives into the water to save her. In my second book in the Everyday Heroes series, Obsessed, it is about a firefighter.

What do you think are qualities of a hero?
