Q: Why the change from writing ménage under
Alicia White to writing Man Love under Olivia Black?
A: I love writing ménage, but I’m growing and
changing as an author. I felt inspired to write the Silver Bullet series. One
day I sat down and mapped out all the characters, describing what they looked
like and what their back story was. When I was finished, I sat back and
realized that I had almost a dozen books that I needed to write. I immediately
opened my laptop and boom the first
few books were done. The rest is history, I now write under two pen names.
Q: Do you have a favorite M/M author?
A: I’ve been a huge fan of alternative
romance for many years. The names that pop into my head are Carol Lynne, Lynn
Hagen, Stormy Glenn, Anitra Lynn McLeod, and AJ Jarrett. I have a collection of
their books sitting on my shelf along with many more from other talented
authors.
Q: You’ve written a couple of series with other
Siren Ménage Everlasting Authors, would you like to collaborate on projects
with Siren Man Love Authors as well?
A: I love
writing with other authors. The two experiences I’ve had so far have been very
rewarding. Writing is generally considered a solitary activity and I like
working with others. It would be wonderful to be asked to be a part of a Man
Love series.
Q: How do you make the love scenes you write so
incredibly hot?
A: I have to be honest, I watch porn. I use
the scenes as inspiration and it really does make the scenes in my books
hotter! There is one star that I’m a fan
of, Jesse Jackman. I watch everything he stars in and he’s the inspiration for
a character in a future book. I’ll let the readers guess which one.
Q: Most of your books are paranormal stories,
what attracted you to writing fantasy versus contemporary?
