When I created him I wanted a confused character who has been hurt but who, deep down, is a good person. He’s mixed up, dissatisfied with his lot, wants better and goes all out to get it.
Some say he’s an arrogant prick, others adore him. Marmite is one of those things you either love or hate, hence the tag that has become attached to Luke. Of my already published works I have to say that my ‘Marmite Man’ in Lorenzo il Magnifico is close to my heart. In m y upcoming historical I like very much Livianus, the Roman general, because he is so comfortable with himself, so compassionate and so decisive, unafraid and unassuming.
Tris: That is awfully difficult because I love them all and there is a little bit of me in each of them. Kiran: Do you have a favourite character from your own stories? If so, tell us who it is and why. One sex scene can take me days, but I don’t want to resort to sick practices to dig myself out of a hole. The tools we have are limited, if you see what I mean, and finding original ways of using them without going too far down the road of fetishes and perversions is a challenge. Tris: I am perfectly willing to admit that I find it extremely difficult. Kiran: How do you approach writing sex scenes? Do you find it difficult to keep them fresh? I wanted to really to say that there is always hope and that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. It’s something that many people are going through in the present climate and I fear there will be more to come. He’s had to rent a horrid little house and he’s having to learn to manage on a budget. Tris: Fixed is about a guy whose life has been broken through no fault of his own and he finds himself back where he started. Kiran: Tell me a little about what inspired your latest novella, Fixed. My fourth book, due out before Christmas (hint), is an historical MM and, whilst there is a love story in there, it’s far from traditional. I started to get distressed by the way gay men were being portrayed in some of the fiction that’s about if you read some of them, you could simply change one of the characters to a woman and the story, the sex, the emotions could remain exactly the same.
It’s true that my first three novellas are romances, but they are not by any means gooey and fluffy. Tris: It wasn’t so much a decision to write romance as a decision to write about gay characters. Traditionally the romance genre is dominated by female writers. Kiran: You are steadily gaining a name for yourself writing gay (M/M) fiction – gay romance to be precise.
It was a bit of a struggle tying him to the chair – but I got there in the end… FIXED by Tristram La Roche is released today!įor the first of my interviews with erotica/romance writers I decided to try out my interrogation skills on Tristram La Roche, a fellow author with Etopia Press.
