edit data

S. H. Allan has been a therapeutic foster parent for close to a decade and a half, focusing on teenagers—which is a lot like herding cats, but a lot more rewarding. Dogs make her happy, and the senior dogs for which she provides hospice have to tolerate a giddy younger pup or three. Whenever possible, she ignores them all in favor of reading smutty gay love stories. S. H. knew writing was her destiny when her classic, Mr. Cuke and Mrs. Tomato, was put in the school library in third grade (coincidentally, along with the stories written by all her classmates). Politically active and socially conscious, with a useless M.A. and over twenty-five years working in high tech, S. H. fits in well in her beloved Pacific Northwest, except for that heal ...more

Do you plan on writing another story for Derrick and Nigel? I loved them as a couple and would really like to see where their relationship goes

S.H. Allan Oh thank you! I'm so glad you like them. I love them, too. (Shh, don't tell anyone, but they're my favorite out of all the couples I've written.) Yes,…moreOh thank you! I'm so glad you like them. I love them, too. (Shh, don't tell anyone, but they're my favorite out of all the couples I've written.) Yes, I do plan to write a sequel. I've even got it all planned out. It takes place a couple of years after the last one and Derrick's foster brother is not doing well without his parents. Guess who gets to step up to the plate? :)

However, I have had quite a number of people ask me for the sequel to Honesty and Artifice so my plan is to finish that first. Unfortunately, that one just isn't coming as easily as I'd like so I may take a break and put out a short in the interim. But I do plan to write a sequel to Closure, and I really appreciate your interest. I'm glad someone else loves them, too. (less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

S.H. Allan Fortunately that's not a problem for me (at least not yet) although occasionally I get stuck on how to get from scene A to scene C. When that happens,…moreFortunately that's not a problem for me (at least not yet) although occasionally I get stuck on how to get from scene A to scene C. When that happens, I just work on another project and eventually something will come to me. I do have a problem with sitting down at a computer to actually write, though. I love it, but I can be lazy. If you have a suggestion for how to deal with that, let me know!(less)

“I already have my bathroom time scheduled, so you’ll have to work around it. Please note the bathroom is unavailable for the hour before each of my scheduled usage times (I don’t like to feel as if someone has just been in there when I have to go). However, for your convenience, there is also a toilet available with minimal wait time on the first floor lobby if you have an emergency and need immediate use.”
