051: FAQ about the background to my Polyamorous Passions series

This episode of Indie Author Weekly follows up on Episode 50, where I shared my polyamorous background. Today, you'll get more details about my novels: Polyamorous Passions romantic comedy series.
FAQ:

1. What is Polyamorous Passions?
2. Why did you decide to write Polyamorous Passions?
3. Why write these stories as books (instead of a screenplay, for example)?
4. Why did you choose this genre of contemporary romantic comedy?
5. Why novellas instead of full-length novels?
6. Where did the idea for Polyamorous Passions come from?
7. These books are different than any other story that I've read before! (A few things that set this series apart from other romantic comedies and chick lit...)

Polyamorous Passions follows 3 best friends as they each embark on their own journeys into consensual non-monogamy. Books 1—3 focus on Emma, Books 4—6 focus on Helen, and Books 7—9 will focus on Scarlett (Book 7 is slated for publication in summer 2020).
This contemporary new adult series is suitable for anyone interested in real-life polyamory & open relationships, positive female friendships, alternatives to monogamy, and explorations of sexuality. Each story can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, but readers often say they get the most from it by reading all the books in the series.
Polyamorous Passions uncovers the struggles (and benefits) of ethical non-monogamy and illustrates what polyamorous relationships can look like. These stories reduce stigma & provide new perspectives about different relationship styles, while entertaining the reader through fiction.
Polyamorous Passions follows Emma (easygoing recruitment manager with no issue dating multiple men simultaneously—even if they do), Helen (ambitious career woman in a 10-year relationship with her soon-to-be husband, who falls head over heels for her wedding photographer), and Scarlett (burlesque dancer with a long-standing unrequited crush, whose only hope to save her failing business is an irritating Humphrey Bogart-esque dance partner she’s forced to work with) as they navigate the next phase of their lives in the transitionary period of their late 20s to early 30s.
In the vein of Sex and the City & Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Polyamorous Passions uses humour & everyday conversations to share relatable real-life issues & complex life experiences in a compelling, entertaining format.
