I’ve been thrilled with great reviews for Love Me More in the last few weeks and 2 Hot 2 Handle being #1 on the My Bookstore and More top ten list for days! Here’s how one quick fantasy story turned into three popular stories.

Love Me was my very first published story. It was an exciting debut for me and I was so thrilled to get fan mail and some nice reviews for this story, not to mention awesome sales! Then I had another idea involving the same characters, so I wrote Love Me More. It still amazes me how easy those stories were to write. They are quite short, but they just seemed to flow out of me. I’m probably not remembering correctly, but I swear I wrote them each in about an hour. Okay, maybe not, but it was fast!

I wanted to make it a series of three stories because three‘s a nice number, don’t you think?    But then I got stuck. I really wanted to try my hand at a m/m/f or m/f/m ménage story but I had a hard time imagining Gavin in bed with another dude. Eventually I gave up on that idea and decided Abby deserved her own love story. If anyone could handle two men, it was Abby! And there was 2 Hot 2 Handle.

An aside: Some of you may know that I recently did in fact come up with a way to get Gavin in bed with another guy, if you’ve read my Samhellion freebie Love Me Tonight 

I have to say 2 Hot 2 Handle didn’t quite flow out of me as easily as the first two stories. In my first attempt at writing m/m, I stumbled and hesitated and questioned myself. It was hard. But I like getting inside the male mind and people seem to like my male characters, so I just wrote about two guys who love each other, and imagined what might make them want more. I know this is a fantasy for a lot of women – two hot guys who want to be with you but also with each other.

Not only was this my first m/m/f story but it was the first ménage story I’ve written with a HEA for all three characters. My other ménage stories involve a one night fantasy (including my next Ellora’s Cave release CONFERENCE CALL) but this is the first where all three commit to each other.

I’ve become quite fond of all these characters after three books together! They become so real to me.

In the end I hope I wrote a satisfying story about an unconventional love and I learned while writing this that love is the same whether it’s for another man, another woman, or both.
