![]() let alone "Romance" as defined by reader expectations. ![]() I'm a lot more interested to explore the history than the romance. It's actually interested in the history of a gay person - one who's problematic and makes mistakes, and is conflicted and very much like a real person, not a "romance lead". However, Nightingale is not an M/M Romance. ![]() M/M Romance has by now spawned a million sub-sub-genres (m/m/m & menage, BDSM, slavefic, etc), and readers have certain expectations.Īnd that's fine, because I have written "M/M Romance" and will very likely write some more of that - in fact, there's a co-written book that's most definitely a historical m/m romance (though heavy on the history) in the wings. "M/M Romance" has come to mean a very specific thing basically lots of sex, no cheating, kink very welcome (and encouraged), and historical m/m romance tends to be light on history (sometimes very light - up to the point where it's largely modern people fucking in costumes) - exceptions prove the rule. ![]() I'm not one for false advertising - so just a few words about Nightingale and where it fits on the bookshelf. ![]()
