Nice Things

Cait Miller pointed out a very pleasant surprise for me through Twitter: Book Riot had an article where I was included in a list of five authors 'to get you started in M/M romance'.  And I was in good company.

It's a humbling feeling to have your book, and what for me was my first, to keep getting recognition.  I in no way anticipated that when I first published in the genre.

In some ways it is also scary as you think nothing else you do will ever compare!  And believe me, I never saw it as a 'sports romance' and it's funny to think of it as such.  AFL is the only sport I follow, so to be seen as a sports romance novelist is quite ironic.

I've been dwelling a lot on the future of the series, and what the endgame will be.  Part of me could keep writing Simon and Dec forever, even if nobody else ever read them again, because they have become in that really wanky author way 'part of me'.  But I don't know if that's a good thing.  There will definitely be a book 4, it's already planned, and the boys will no doubt continue to pop up in cameos in the spin-off series, and little short stories now and again.  But I don't know.  I'm rambling on I guess.

Some late night Friday musings.

Here is the article itself!

Marge Fantastic! A book 3 AND 4! Please don't feel as if you are pushing Simon and Dec on us. I love series books. As long as the characters have something new to reveal to us, I am always interested in reading more about them. The guys feel like faraway friends that I've never met but am very fond of.
