In romance there are many genres and types of relationships. Today I have the opportuntiy to introduce to you my friend D.F. Krieger who co-authored a Female/Female Romance, The Submission, which was just released this week.Danica: Hi D.F. welcome to my blog. Could you tell us how you write Female/Female romance?D.F.: In recent events, I found myself staring at my computer, slack jawed and uncertain. Write a lesbian romance? How am I supposed to do that? Indeed, how is one supposed to write something they've never experienced nor dreamed about? The old adage is, "write what you know." In this case, the adage applied about as well as oil mixes with water.One of my authors, who I've grown quite close to as friends over the months, was speaking to me on chat. We were venting to each other, during which I made the statement that I'd love to spank my authors into listening to me sometimes, but half of them would like it. After all, I am the whip-wielding editor known as Her Editing Evilness at work.Write it! Hell, I'll co-author with you and play the role of the author. It'll be fun.I stared at the reply and, despite my shock, felt the wheels turning in my head. Why not? I'm obviously not a star-faring pirate captain, yet I'd like to think I wrote my sci-fi romance rather well. I can write situations in which I've never found myself. There was just one problem…How is someone who is not a lesbian, nor is interested in lesbian sex, prepared to write a lesbian romance?I envisioned myself typing a scene, gulping soda as I tried to convince myself not to freak out. I imagined typing a kiss between the two and physically flinched. Now, before you accuse me of being a homophobe, realize one thing: I'm not. I have no issues with people loving who they love. I'M just not attracted to other women. I've always wrote guy with girl sex, and that's been that.In the author world, you are bound to make friends with writers who do not write the same thing as you. In the editing world, you are bound to edit manuscripts with story lines you never thought you'd deal with. In the reading world, occasionally you pick up a book outside your regular genres and experience something new. Those three worlds smacked me around and brought me to a revelation. Lesbian romance is like any other romance. Sex is sex, but what matters is the development of the plot and the relationship between the characters. As long as I focused on that, and stayed true to the overall elements of storytelling itself, I was bound to write a book that not only challenged me, but brought a new realm for my readers to delve into.Afterall, my motto is "Romance from one realm to the next."Danica: Do you have an excerpt from, The Submission, that you would like to share?D.F.: Sure.
