Dear Author, On stage they move together beautifully, fluid and flawless and perfectly in sync. Off stage, they dance around each other, hesitant and uncoordinated. What keeps them apart? What steps must they take before they find their rhythm? Photo Description: On a highly polished floor, two supple young men rest. The wall behind them is a deep wine red color, and lights glow along the edge of the stage so brightly the floor they rest on appears to be mirrored, reflecting their intertwined forms back up at them. Though still, the shape the make together is so dynamic it appears to move. One young man's face is visible and clearly marks him as being of Asian descent, while the other young man's is hidden. They are dressed in white loin cloths, and their skin shimmers with the sweat of their exertions. This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love is Always Write" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story. Read the story here or find it in Love Is Always Write: Volume 8.

I’ve been in love with words since before I drew breath, and I don’t see that ever changing. I write stories. Sometimes I write music with them, sometimes they’re poems, and lately, to my great delight, M/M erotic romance. Yum. Smexy man to the second…or third power…now that’s the kinda math I can get behind!! The hair curls or frizzes as it will, the eyes are green and tend to look in two different directions—no, really—and the rest is subject to change. You know the guy who didn’t know if he was a butterfly dreaming he was a man or a man dreaming he was a butterfly? Yeah, that’s me, but substitute drag queen for butterfly and wacky, wild ex-Army chick for man.
