Lou Sylvre<\/a> asked me some really interesting questions and I hope I managed to make the answers equally as interesting.<\/p>\n

The entire interview is here<\/a><\/p>\n

\nQ: [Your] latest two [novels] are in the Western tradition. Do you see your future titles continuing in this vein? The Western seems to be particularly popular among M\/M romance readers (and writers). Can you speculate as to why that might be, and whether that will continue?<\/p>\n

A: The contemporary western is certainly popular and I think this is because of the mixture of rugged, manly men and the traditionally homophobic environment they live in. Also, it\u2019s such an American tradition. Cowboys made America, at least for a while.
\nI\u2019m stuck in the western for the time being. My next novel, Floods and Drought, is also part of the Clouds and Rain series and I think I have one more story up my sleeve after that. I\u2019ve already told a few people I\u2019ll try to make that my NaNoWriMo effort for this year, so I better hold myself to that.
\nAfter that, who knows? Probably no more cowboys, although I do love those shapely asses in a saddle Maybe I should tackle that other M\/M staple and write a Navy Seal novel? Or maybe I\u2019ll return to the traditional contemporary romance. We\u2019ll see where the (numerous) bunnies take me.
