I’ve read a couple of blog-posts this morning about writers of MM romance who are semi in the closet about their writing. When I first started writing, I didn’t want my kids friends to give them problems about what I write so I used a pen name. However when FaceBook came around, my two identities got mixed together. I no longer try to hide my identity except for the fact I do still use the pen name because I have people who follow that name.
I don’t write as prolifically as most writers. In fact the idea that I may have two or three books come out this year instead of one every two years amazes me. I self-publish. By the time I published my fourth book this spring, I decided to put my real picture on the back.
So, I can’t say I’m in the closet either about my writing or my support of gay rights.
I can’t figure out how to add links to my post.
