I like to read and write about all kinds of sex. Okay, not all kinds. There are things that squick me out too And there are places I won’t go.

I’m talking the basic pairings, I guess. m/f, m/m, threesomes and moresomes that are combinations of those. I don’t like to limit who my characters will and won’t have sex with. Oh, not that my characters won’t find a bunch of different things to angst over. After all, without that, I wouldn’t have a story. And there are those of my characters who do have hang ups about gender, but most of them get over it by the end of whatever story I’m writing.

I recently described many of my characters as having a “fluid sexuality”. My aunt liked that a lot. Thought it sounded pretty. Truthfully, so did I. Feels pretty too. I like the idea of deciding to sleep with someone because they’re damn hot, regardless of their gender. Isn’t it much more fun and flexible that way?

I was going to be true to the pure m/m in my Heaven Sent series. I was, really. But then Gretchen spoke up, a woman I like. I don’t know, I guess writing a story with a girl in it made the series seem more rounded to me. Of the eight HS heros of the first four books, only one of them had never chosen to sleep with a woman, and I’m not so sure Chris didn’t experiment at least once.

I never intended the Dark Elves to be solely m/f. I’ll admit that I hadn’t intended to write a full m/m story when I wrote the first book, but the bits and pieces were there even in that book. After I wrote Snagged and Tech Support, an m/m elves book was pretty much a foregone conclusion.

I only have two books that have purely heterosexual heroes. But, similar to Chris, I’m not so sure Dragon from Fox and Dragon or the boys from One For the Team — all of them at least — are completely straight.

So I guess I’m not a pure m/m or m/f author. I don’t think I ever will be.
