You see, I never thought soul mates might change from one life to the next, always assumed they'd stay the same, simply change shape.

F...Why do you enjoy writing and reading m/m genre?<br /><br />First of all, I've never read it before I started writing about it. And I write it because I like writing about people and their connection not just to each other, but with the world that surrounds them. And since we're all living under conventions and reules, even if we might not be aware of it, I like to explore if and how someone could lead a different path from what society traditionally assigns him or her. This is my excuse for writing m/m. I want to challenge my readers to think for themselves and nothing works better than telling of characters struggling against those same conventions we face every day. Massification, mass media, mass culture, that's where society wants to fit us in, everyone conveniently labeled for an immediate recognition. But I rebel to this limited vision that restricts individual freedom and choices in ways we don't even imagine. So in my own small way, I bring to life characters and storis that fight against the system, not in a violent way, of course, but using their resources, their minds, their convictions and whatever else comes handy to lead a life of their own choosing.<br />But the sex's great, too! LOL<br /><br />Hope you keep enjoying the genre, LauraLaura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-82830694487112850782010-01-15T16:26:13.133-05:002010-01-15T16:26:13.133-05:00Hi, Birdie, you ask some tough questions, especial...Hi, Birdie, you ask some tough questions, especially the one about writing on this subject as a non-fiction. To be frank, no, I've never thought of doing a non-fiction book on the subject because I don't feel I'm an expert or anything. I like the subject, researched it, lived it in my personal experience, but a lot of it is a mix of my ideas combined with Occidental and Oriental philosophy and frankly I don't know if anyone would be interested enough to know in detail what Laura Tolomei thinks of this subject. No, I find it more appropriate in a fictional contest, where my characters are free to move as they like, a freedom I wouldn't have in a non-fiction work, and can tell readers my ideas in a simpler yet more effective way.<br /><br />As for your second question, no, I haven't written straight m/f. All my stories are basically m/m and even if it's not the predominant part, it's the most relevant. Maybe Trespassing All Hallows Eve, my very first release, could qualify more as an m/f than any of my other stories so you might want to check that out.<br />Thanks for your comment, LauraLaura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-12360283999175661112010-01-15T16:17:19.691-05:002010-01-15T16:17:19.691-05:00Hi, Tracey, never tried book trailer, but I'm ...Hi, Tracey, never tried book trailer, but I'm sure they work as much as any other promo idea does.

I have met a couple of past life soulmates in this incarnation but neither was for me in this life believe it or not although I did get to complete a past life full circle and move on with one and knows that the other is more for me in the next go round even though he is a great friend to me know but he is NOT the one I know for me now.

One of them is Tasting Leon's Mark, coming soon from Whiskey Creek Press, the final chapter of two souls chasing one another through different lifetimes, inextricably connected by a passionate game of blook and sex. The final chapter, Tasting Leon's Mark, is about Leon and Sean, the last two incarnations and how they manage to change their premise, growing in the process and moving on to another level. Great paranormal stuff LOL<br />I also have the first chapter, Re-Scue, which was originally contracted to FDWP before it went down. But I'll soon get it published, don't woryy.<br /><br />As for Rome, yeah, it's a great city, but not immune from the big city's prblems such as traffic, pollution, people, etc. And I like it well enough, although I have to admit I don't miss it the times I'm away. Is it home? Perhaps, even if to me it's not the place that makes the home, but th people you're living with.<br />Ciao from Rome, LauraLaura Tolomeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892523701987594929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-62164959279910300432010-01-13T10:30:41.715-05:002010-01-13T10:30:41.715-05:00DIVINITAS
