( *shifts in his chair uncomfortably*): I am a very private person from an era when a gentleman did not discuss such things and a place where being Puritanically uptight and uncommunicative was a sign of eminent respectability. Reporter: These are actual questions people have discussed. So how long would you say it takes you to achieve orgasm? Just when, exactly, do you propose they stop and have sex? H.P.: My characters are generally fighting for their lives or their sanity. Reporter: But you created an entire mythology, and a dream-cycle, and no one has any sex in either of them.

Do you ask Edgar Allan Poe why he doesn't write more about lollipops and sunshine? If I wrote romance, I would include romance.

When I write horror, I hope to horrify you. H.P.: ( *long pause*) When I write weird fiction, I give you weird. Are you homosexual? Are you asexual? Is that why sex is absent from your stories? We all want insight into the worlds you created, the fantastic characters and places, the things named and unnamed. There are so many questions, so many questions, that fans and academics have been yearning to ask you. Reporter: You can't believe how excited I am to be here.

Her exceptionally exclusive, never advertised, online dating service. You will notice by the branding on the cover that it is being published by Decadent Publishing as part of their 1Night Stand series.Īll the books in the 1Night Stand line share one thing in common: Madame Evangeline ('Eve') and her 1Night Stand (1NS) dating service.

The beautiful, beautiful cover by Fiona Jayde.

its publication date is FINALLY ALMOST HERE.Īnd as the first step in the promo process, I bring to you now: THE COVER. Yes! Here it is! Remember that oddly dark yet adorable m/m romance short story I wrote last autumn? I moaned about it several times on Twitter back then.
