I write from the heart. Each and every word comes from a place meant to invoke emotions that capture the reader and tuck them into a world of romance and excitement. So...if an author writes about a torrid love affair between a man and woman and you enjoy the story would you stay loyal to that author and trust her/him to take you on another emotional journey between two men?

Yes. But I think that if a reader isn't willing to read an M/M novel it is less about loyalty than preference. Readers can sometimes have specific things they don't like or don't think they would like. I love M/M and would read an authors M/M even if she usually writes M/F---But if she has a F/F...well, I'd probably skip it.

Thank you, Shannon, for answering. I too love to read M/M romance that's written from a romantic perspective and not just erotica. Skylar Kade wrote a really great F/F romance called Violet. I agree however that I'm partial to M/F and M/M books.

Absolutely Pauline! I don't believe an author is defined by one genre or the use of certain characters. As authors of romance, we are free to explore many types of love. I read a few authors who travel easily between the M/F and M/M divide. I have no issue with this.

My M/M that I'm almost done with is going to need a serious beta reader. I know my misplaced mod's are going to be c.r.a.z.y. I'm learning. I can write ménage because it's easier to know who is doing what to whom, but two guys...hot as hell, but harder to write.

Broadening your horizons? LOL

Oh goodness, Rosanna. It was easier to write the M/M scenes in Gilded Lily because there was usually a female close by and the action was four play until the last scene when it was hot and heavy, no holds barred. This, page after page, is emotional and hot, but difficult to keep things straight sometimes.
