My Romantic Inspiration - Actor Peter Barton

Actor Peter Thomas Barton has been my romantic hero since I was ten years old.  I began writing romance novels at that age.  His perfection, in my mind, created the hero of my dreams.  I owe the inspiration behind the gorgeous hunks in my novels to Peter Barton.  Here are some pictures of Peter to show you why he has been a beloved hero of mine, in mind and heart, ever since I was a little girl of age ten.  Later on, when I was 18, I met Peter Barton in person in Tulsa, Oklahoma at Eastland Mall.  It was the most wonderful moment in my life and still is to this day.  He was my hero growing up.  To this day, I am still in awe of that moment when I looked upon him in person for the first time.  Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of that moment with him, but did get an autographed picture of him in person and later on, one he sent to me in the mail.  He will always be the man of my dreams, and the man in my romance novels.  I have many regrets in regards to the day I met him in person.  I wish I would have had many photos of him and me together.  I wish I would have spoke to him more, instead of freezing up like a statue.  I wish I would have dressed nicer, smiled more, and made eye contact more.  I was star struck, to say the least.  I was young, shy, and very sheltered at that time.  Looking back, I wish I would have been more open, less reserved, and more talkative.  I did ask him for a hug, which he graciously allowed.  He said, "Big hug!  Big hug!"  I wish I had that day to do all over again knowing what I know now.  I have my regrets, but still... it was the moment I will never forget.  It is said that Peter is now married with a new child.  He is 51.  I do not know if that is for a fact true but... I wish him all the best for happiness.  But I still, deep down inside where that little girl still exists, wish it were me he was married to.  I suppose we all have our little girl dreams and fantasies.  Maybe in my next lifetime... but more likely in my next romance novel.
