Frequently Asked Questions
I've been getting a number of questions from readers about my books and myself, so I've added this FAQ section. Hopefully this answers your burning questions, but feel free to send me more and I'll keep on updating this as I go!
Books
Q: Will there be more Felidae?
A: Yes!! I definitely have more stories planned out for the Felidae, although they won't all be about Laithe's pride. I've introduced Durai's pride in the Pridelands series, and hope that you enjoyed the men and women in the Pridelands just as much as you've enjoyed Laithe and his brothers. But, you never know who will get a story next. I heard a little rumor that there are a few Felidae who want their stories told. We'll see what happens!
Q: Will Achan have a story?
A: Achan Steinsson is the baby in the family and he's definitely going to have a story at some point. I just have to wait for him to talk to me and let me know who he's going to end up with. Some of you may have an idea or two, but I'll have to wait and see :)
Q: Frog shapeshifters?
A: LOL, I've been accused of having a warped sense of humor and The Frog in the Room is definitely a result of it. I wanted to prove to myself that I could write about a shapeshifter that isn't one of the 'usual' shifters and that I could make it sound natural and sexy at the same time. I think I accomplished my task :)
Q: Is there a sequel to Nut Cream planned? Will it be about Mick?
A: Yes and yes. Mick has a very special mate that he'll be meeting one of these days :)
Q: What are you working on now?
A: I'm currently writing the first book in the Broken Trilogy, which will be released at MLR Press. I've been toying with Mick's story for awhile now, and think I may write that next and I will also have the next book in the Storykeepers series out at Aspen Mountain Press.
Personal
Q: Why do you write GLBT romances?
A: For a number of reasons, actually. At the most basic level, I like reading them and I've always been a believer that you should write what you like to read. I like getting caught up in the emotions between characters, and there's definitely something about the entire GLBT genre that attracts me as both a reader and a writer. But for me it really isn't about gender, it's about the heart and spirit within a person, which is why I continue to go back and forth between the gender and sexuality of my characters.
But, I also want to put my mark on the world just like everyone else. I once received an email from someone thanking me for writing about gay romances because they had never realized that love, not just lust, between two men could happen and be beautiful. If I can influence even one person into realizing this, then I've done my job as a writer! There's not a better feeling out there than knowing you've made a difference in some small way, trust me.
