These are a few of my (current) favorite things…
James McAvoy. Michael Fassbender. If you haven’t seen X-Men: First Class, get yourself over to Netflix, pronto! The chemistry between these two leaps right off the screen. It’s like watching a m/m novel acted out onscreen!
Opera. Yes, it’s true – I’m an opera nerd. I love the music, the beautiful singing, the staging, the costumes – the romance. In fact, I modeled my characters Colette and David in Entangled Trio after two of my favorite singers – mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca and tenor Jonas Kaufmann. I went all the way to New York to see soprano Anna Netrebko perform live.
But don’t call me a snob – I like all kinds of music. My iTunes library has about 71 gigs of music in it, everything from Adele and Kate Bush to Puccini and Wagner. And Glee! I’m a huge fan of Chris Colfer and Darren Criss. In fact, I’m going back to New York this January to see Darren in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
Looking back, and looking forward…
2011 was a banner year for me, and one hell of a whirlwind! I attended RT in LA in April, and from then on the time just flew by. Spent the summer writing my breakout m/m novel, Once a Marine, attended Authors After Dark in Philly in August, GayRomLit in New Orleans in October. Wrote a whole book with my BFF Rachel Haimowitz in November (our upcoming m/m kinkapalooza Power Play: Resistance, coming from Riptide Publishing in Spring 2012).
