You have to reveal what you know, what you can imagine, what you fantasize about, perhaps even what you’d like to do. I’ve been pondering that a lot and have come up with the theory that, gay or straight, even though it’s the characters knocking boots, it’s the writer’s mind that is being exposed. Not because it contained gay sex-I’ve read plenty of that and never you mind why-but because putting the sex scenes into words made me feel so-naked. Back in June the “first time” story began to gel and I banged it out, so to speak, in a single day. Inquiring minds wanted to know, especially about Alec and Seregil’s first night of love making, once they became a couple at the end of the second Nightrunner book, Stalking Darkness.Īnyhow, a few years ago I jokingly threatened to write my own fan fiction, but people took me seriously and began to ask when I was going to get around to it. This led to a some frustration among a sizable portion of my readership, who are into that sort of thing. When the first books were published back in the mid 90’s, graphic sex scenes were not encouraged for books intended for the mainstream, so I had to be coy, showing the kissy stuff, lead ups, and morning afters, but not the deed itself. And when you’re a woman writing gay sex? A challenge, to say the least, and one I tackle in my new Nightrunner short fiction collection, Glimpses.įor years now I’ve been tap dancing around sex scenes in my Nightrunner Series, and gay sex at that. OK, sex is pretty easy (and fun!) if you know what you’re doing, but writing about it? That’s a whole different kettle of naughty bits. Thanks for having me back, Lucienne! I’m very excited about the release of my Nightrunner short fiction collection, Glimpses, which contains some erotica, the first I’ve written.
