There’s something enticing about breaking the rules, wouldn’t you say? And what better way to cross a few lines than to place a female character as the MC president in a genre where men usually rule the patch.

I say nothing at all. Give me the modern day heroine who can spew a few curse words, crack a crass joke, and drink beers with the boys, and I’m sold.

That’s exactly why in my latest release, Rebel Love, I made the president of my MC club a female. For the past three years I’ve been writing romance and with each new novel I try to twist the norm on its head. Whether it’s a feisty take-no-prisoners deputy sheriff out in west Texas, with a mouth like a sailor, to a female running a motorcycle club… I want my heroines to have the capability to go toe-to-toe with the hero. I like my heroines to be able to look that hero in the face and say, “Well, badass, sometimes it takes a woman to do a man’s job.”

They need to be strong- willed, passionate, and complicated. True to themselves even if it goes against the “norm”, because no one is one- dimensional so why should fictional characters be. With Em Connors, the heroine in Rebel Love, I wanted to create a woman that wasn’t just a hardass, but human as well. She’s already reached that all is lost moment when the reader meets her since she’s dealing with the aftermath of her dead fiance. Raised a criminal she channels her anger the best way she knows how by taking out the responsible parties for stealing her happily ever after. She’s hard yet fragile. Good yet still bad. Complicated. I like to think of her as someone that’s lost her way and looking for the road best traveled for Em Connors. She waiting for that moment when she can look at herself knowing she’s finally discovered the Real Em.

My female characters might not be your typical mother’s romance heroine, but they’re unique. And in my books being unique can be powerful. It can be uplifting. It can help you see your true self. I hope when a reader picks up one of my books they see that it’s okay to push boundaries. Screw typical. Hell, I know it isn’t normal to have a woman as president of a MC club, but in Jodi Linton’s MC world anything is possible. Like the heroine wearing the president patch.

So, are you ready, to take this unique journey with me where a female runs a MC club? Where anything is possible even finding true love in the most unlikely circumstances.
