As you might imagine, my MM stories are my most popular books, but there are a core of dedicated readers who love the menages. These books have also won a ton of awards. I have five of those books — or rather four true menages and one prequel to a menage that shows how the men met and fell in love. Recently, these books have been selling very well and i’m interested in the fact that new readers are finding them all the time. Here are a few things i’ve learned about writing menages Tara style.
- Love between three people can be just as sweet and intense and passionate as between two – at least in romance novels! The real-life dynamics of a ménage are probably very tricky, but virtually everyone has harbored in their heart at sometime the thought that maybe, just maybe, they could love two people. Ménage stories play into this fantasy.
- Ménages make interesting plots. Simple, you have three people to play with, to
make interact with each other, to provide richness and detail to your story. - Pronouns can be killers! Writing male/male stories is a unique challenge since both characters are called “he”. This is also true in MMF, but you now have another pronoun to add. At least there’s only one she. I have also written MMM ménages and that is amazing — he, he and, oh yes, he!
- Sex between three people needs careful thought. The reader needs to know where each character is and what they’re doing. No one can be left out, so we have to see reactions from each character as well as actions.
- There must be good reason why each character loves the other two. Each must have his own story, depth of character, motivations, just as if it were a love story between two people.
In case you haven’t seen them, i’m posting the trailers fro the first two books in the Genetic Attraction series (and the first two novels i ever wrote) — The Scientist and the Supermodel and Genetic Attraction. If you’d like to read excerpts from these books, just check them out under Books.
Thanks for coming by! : )
