Gay Romance Show - MM Author Podcast

Tim Smith, aka Timothy Warren, is a husband, author, and co-host of Johnny Has the Keys — a Horror and Sci-Fi movie — podcast. He writes about gay characters in m/m romance as well as the horror genre under the name T.W. Smith. He lives in the Atlanta suburbs with his husband, mother-in-law, and their many furry, four-legged children.

In addition to Tim’s books and his creative process, we discuss:

  • How classic gay literary fiction of the last century intersects with contemporary MM romance
  • the imposter syndrome and self-sabotage that many writers experience
  • Point of view
  • Writing faster using the Pomodoro Technique
  • And the rhythm of writing great dialogue

Trusting Your Author Instincts with Mia Monroe

I’m speaking with Mia Monroe, an LGBTQ+ romance author whose style is best described as emotional, kinky, and wildly imaginative. She believes love is for everyone.

Mia is the creator of the new bestselling series Tattoos and Temptation. The first two books in that series, Marry Me and Fix Me are both currently on the charts with a third book, Free Me coming out next month.

Mia Monroe is a newer author to many of us, and I was fortunate to catch her right as she’s emerging on everybody’s radar.

We talk about how she went from creative burnout only a few months ago to trusting her instincts and using an alpha reader collaboration to speed up her writing process ... All of it leading to a major creative breakthrough and newfound success.

For those of you who are also up and coming, or future authors, her story is especially inspiring. And as always, it’s cool to hear an author talk about her process and the ideas behind her books.

Lily Morton on Writing Multiple Series and Recurring Characters

Lily Morton is the English author of the bestselling Mixed Messages, Finding Home, and Close Proximity series. She writes contemporary romances about witty men, and her stories are full of warmth and sarcasm. Lily lives in sunny England with her husband and two children, all of whom claim that they haven’t had a proper conversation with her since she bought her first laptop. She loves chocolate and Baileys and the best of all creations – Chocolate Baileys! Her lifetime’s ambition is to have a bath in peace without being shouted by one of her family.

In previous episode 04, I interviewed Lily about her writing background and creative process. She agreed to chat with me again specifically about how she approaches writing multiple series, and creating a new series, in a new genre, built around a recurring couple.
