Athos, Porthos, Aramis, D'Artagnan, and Leslie. Has a nice ring to it, don't you think? The Three Musketeers was the first novel I wanted to melt into. It even inspired me to take fencing lessons. I hid a spiral notebook inside my text books in high school and penned my first novel during classes about a sixteen-year-old girl joining the Musketeers dressed as a boy. My MC was Adeline Bilyeu and she was awesome with a sword.

I'm not so sure Alexandre would have made the Musketeer final cut himself. It looks like he may have enjoyed one French pastry too many.
