Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:39:26 +0000 http://www.writersfunzone.com/blog/?p=864#comment-224 Well.... this could be answered in so many ways! My favorite 'Jack' heroes are Jack Skellington (Nightmare Before Christmas), and Jack Bristow (Alias). My favorite hero name, is probably Gillygoofang, 'cause it's a cool name. My possibly favorite fictional heroes (husband & wife team!) are named Beren and Luthien, from The Silmarillion. Well…. this could be answered in so many ways!

He is naughty, a flirt, has great style, a heart that actually really cares a lot ... and is very lonely. Captain Jack not only can handle many difficult situations but he is also FUN! http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchwood/ Eva I already have your book Beth but I want to chime in with Captain Jack (Harkness) from Torchwood.

Colton in "Romancing the Stone" and "Jewel of the Nile", http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088011/, or even better, Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan in the Patriot Games, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105112/. As for other hero names, I like Cussler's Dirk Pitt, and Indiana Jones (even if he is named after his dog), and let us not forget...Robin Hood.
