16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing?
I think a better question would be, when do I not write romantic relationships. I don't think there's a book I've worked on yet that didn't feature a romance of some kind. Whether it's in the background or not depends on the story, but there's always something there. Because I'm a sap.
How far I'm willing to go depends on the characters. Va'Heta and Thiare from Karavan are more of a fade-to-black pair, while Xavierre and Maia from Stealing Time are a "Hi, you're trying to focus on plot when you really should be writing porn about us instead" couple.
