I’ve always preferred a buffet to a la carte – I’d far rather nibble through a bunch of different taste sensations than works my way through a single dish. Same when it comes to stories. A Sword-wielding Archer shares the movie theatre in my head with SAS Guys, Geeky Engineers and even a Hot Angel. But every single female in there is whip-smart, fearless and more than able to hold her own in a man’s world. Blimey, it gets busy. You can guarantee they're surrounded by a supporting cast who never let them take themselves seriously, so there’s always adventure, fun and romance, whatever they get up to. Please ensure you have a snack ready or the mouth-watering food will have you diving for the biscuit tin.
