Janna's mother is half Irish. She's a quarter cherokee, quarter Osage and then half irish from her father's side. Janna is 1/8th cherokee, 1/8th osage, a quarter irish and half german on her father's side. The romance in most of my novels plays a very small roll. It's there to add some depth to the characters and give a subplot that keeps things moving forward when I need a boost in the right direction. When I say romance I mean romance the way it was written before Mommy Porn took over the industry.
