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 Pridelands 1: Darren's Surprise, and hope that you'll enjoy the men and women in the Pridelands just as much as you've enjoyed Laithe and his brothers. But, you never know, I have a feeling that Laithe isn't quite finished telling his story. He may make an appearance later on ;)

Q: Will Pran and Khalid have a story?

A: For anyone not familiar with these two, Pran was first introduced in Felidae 3: Usama's Journey and again in Felidae 5: Navin's Master. He has some issues that keep plaguing him and he's been seen as a bit of a villain, and a bit of a victim. Khalid was first introduced in Felidae 4: Lev's Discovery and he's Durai's brother so he makes an appearance in the Pridelands series. Khalid is a halfbreed, his father was Leo and his mother was Tigris, and he doesn't quite fit in with either. I've gotten more than a few questions about Pran and Khalid, and I am excited to announce that they're up next!! Pridelands 5 will be released in October!

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 will be published next?

A: My next release is Fabulous Brits which will be released in August from Total-E-Bound. After that will be my contribution to the Spaceport series at Changeling Press. Both stories are gay romances, but Spaceport features three characters!

Q: What are you working on now?

A: I'm working on a few stories at the moment. I've been toying with Mick's story for awhile now, and think I may write that next. I also have an idea for a brand new Felidae series, but it's still in the planning stages right now. I constantly want to challenge myself to try something different, so who knows what will be next.

Personal

Q: Why do you write gay/menage 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 m/m 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 m/f, m/m and menage stories. I do have a number of 'straight' romances written, though, and you'll be seeing them in the future.

But, I also want to put my mark on the world just like everyone else. I recently 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.
