Of course, the two are intimately related.
I´d say there are two core elements at the center of each of my novels, the seeds from which the rest of the story eventually sprouts and grows as I write: the erotic seed, and the emotional seed. Katinka asked me how Dangerously Happy came together, and what´s important to me when I´m conceptualizing a new book. Well, my three previous novels all had at least a subplot involving a gay couple, but Dangerously Happy is the first where the central drama is a love story between two men. But somehow, this other novel took shape suddenly and unexpectedly, and in a strange, delusional frenzy, I wrote the whole thing in less than a month.Īnd so, in May, I published my fourth novel, Dangerously Happy, which was also my first foray into gay erotic romance. They don’t form a series in the strict sense of the word, but they are all interconnected and pertain to the same world, and I’m quite excited to have such a grand project in the works. I have been writing, though, off and on, and I have three novels-in-progress which I hope will get finished in the next year or two. I did move to Europe a couple years ago, though, so that part’s exciting! But the dull truth is, I was just busy working and doing other ordinary life things. With a question like that, I feel like I should have a really exciting story about going to Africa with the Peace Corps, or following Che Guevara’s route through South America on my motorcycle. It may be old news to most of you by now (or no news, if you’ve never heard of me before!) but Katinka wanted me say why I disappeared for six years, after Abduction, Hurt, and After came out. Thank you for hosting me on Boys in our Books! In this guest post Varian explains her 6 year disappearance, writing and…girly parts! Her stories tend to explore the sometimes fine line between what arouses, and what frightens, what we’re driven to, and what we’re ashamed of.
