Love Lessons Learned - Or...how a spin-off suddenly developed into more....

When I was writing Learning to Love Evan and Daniel, there was a scene where Evan's brother John decided to 'experiment' a little by kissing Daniel.
For some reason, John wouldn't get out of my head.
"Oh dear", I thought, "I know this feeling..."
Yep. Another idea for a book.
And so was born the spin-off, Love Lessons Learned, where we get to see what happens when John finally makes up his mind that he's gay. Trust me, this boy doesn't do things by halves...
Except it didn't end there.
John goes to live in a shared house with Stu, Martin and Alec, three young men who are all gay, and all of them single. Martin is an assistant manager of a menswear store, Stu is a flight attendant with Virgin and Alec is a paramedic.
And once I started writing the book, they started talking to me. LOUDLY.
So by the time I was halfway through, I knew there was going to be a Love Lessons Learned series.
The one who spoke loudest was Stu. The boy is a slut - a self-confessed slut, true, but also a young man with a past.
A young man who has been so hurt that he simply won't let himself get close to any man. And he gets to tell his story first.
So now you have an idea of what's coming. And when you get to meet these boys, you'll know why I couldn't ignore them any longer.
One of these days I really need to tell these voices what to go do with themselves - I have a head full of book ideas already!
(Yeah, you already know that ain't gonna happen!)
