\"Pauline<\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi! I’m Pauline Allan and I love to write about boys kissing boys. I live in Indiana, but my heart dwells in the heart of the South. I visit New Orleans a couple times a year to recharge my creative battery and eat some amazing food! I volunteer at the Pride Community Center in Spencer, Indiana where we champion diversity and all things fabulous. I love to meet and talk to readers and other writers and have a wicked, um…demented, sense of humor. I’m a special care nursery newborn nurse and you can always find me locked in my office listening to music and clicking away on the keyboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

When and Why did you start to write?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I started writing at nine years old when I created a newspaper to feature the comings and goings of my family. I started writing short stories in junior high school and focused on the thriller\/horror genre. College brought new experiences and in my sophomore year I wrote a full length m\u00e9nage fantasy romance. In a spiral bound notebook! By hand! Then hung up my writing brain for a bit. I came back full force in 2012 with a book that was contracted with Loose Id. I’ve always used writing as therapy. My brain is a little crazy and if I don’t write…I can’t breathe. <\/span><\/p>\n

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Edgar Allan Poe. He’s the master of romance. I know! That’s not right. He’s a horror writer. Yeah, I know, but his prose and poetry sing of lost loves and hearts steeped in sappy love affairs. I would also recommend Megan Hart, Lissa Matthews, Cara Bristol, Eli Easton, JA Rock, Charlotte Featherstone, Lisa Kleypas, Anyta Sunday, Charlotte Stein, and Mina Carter.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If you put yourself out there they will come. The readers are so overwhelmingly supportive! <\/span><\/p>\n

What are you working on now?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The third book in The Tattered Social Club Series. Safeword is a MM BDSM book focused on Seth and Jordan. I’ve also started the first book in the Stars Collide Series. Broken Pieces is a MM Romance New Adult.<\/span><\/p>\n

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I’m a plantser. So, I do both. I have a rough outline and the story changes as I write.<\/span><\/p>\n
