Hi, Liz and welcome to Fiery Friday!
Hey! Thank you so much for having me!
We’ll
start by letting the readers get to know you. So tell us about yourself.
My name is Liz Borino and I write erotic male/male romance. I
believe that’s the most important thing about me and is jumping board for
everything else. I’m an advocate for equal rights for women, the LGBT
community, and any minority group who’s discriminated against, which is all of
them. As an English graduate student, I’m preparing for a Plan B I hope to
never need.
Now
for the questions:
What
do you feel is critical to developing a novel that will glue the reader’s ebook
device in their hands until the last page?
Emotion. Readers don’t read with their eyes or their minds, they
read with their hearts and souls. So, if you can’t engage those aspects of your
reader than you won’t be successful.
Women
relate to women and, more often than not, we’re left shaking our heads at men. As
a woman, how do you write your male characters in their point of view and make
them the hot alpha heroes us romance readers fall in love with?
I had to chuckle when I read this question. I relate much better to
men than women. In general, men are less complicated. When I wrote M/F I
struggled most with the female characters.
Why
romance?
Because within the pages of books is the only place to find the
perfect imperfection that most of us dream of.
Do
you believe it exists in the real world?
I have to believe love exists, but romance, soul mates… I have my
doubts.
What
is your idea of the perfect hero?
Someone strong enough to be vulnerable.
If
you had access to a time machine, what year would you travel to and why?
The Victorian Era, I like causing trouble.
Who
is you favorite character that you’ve created and why?
Zack Greene because he’s hysterical. I am not funny, but after
getting to know Zack you might think otherwise.
You
wake up one morning and realize you’re suddenly a kid again, but you remember
everything about being an adult. What advice would you give yourself?
Find a way to reverse this! I know, how’s that for unexpected? I
didn’t enjoy childhood. Wouldn’t want to do it again.
Did
you have a predetermined plan when you began your writing career and, if so,
has that plan changed since your books have been released?
Yes, my original plan was to get rich off of my first book and live
forever off the royalties. Then reality stepped in. You know what, though? I’m
so glad it did. I’ve grown more as a writer and a human being in the last two
years than in any other timeframe in my life. If I had stopped publishing after
my first book, I never would have met Zack and Steve, or touched people with
their story. I can’t wait to see what other characters I get to meet.
Aspiring
authors are always eager to hear advice. What would you say to them?
If you can quit, do it. Otherwise, be prepared to have your
heartbroken. And understand it’ll be worth it.
What’s
your favorite sexual position?
Girl on top.
Have
you ever had to step away from the computer for some much needed air during or after
an erotic scene?
Yes, the first switch scene in That’s a Wrap. Zack was always hot as
a submissive, but good god he’s sexy as a Dom.
Does
size really matter?
Yes, sorry guys.
Where
do you think is the most romantic place on Earth?
London.
If
you could choose any man to sit with by a warm fire on a cold winter night, who
would it be and why?
Mine
Series Vol. 1 Blurb
From the
moment Steve Michaels met actor Zack Greene in the men’s room of a press
conference, the director knew his snarkiness mixed with angelic features,
excited him. What he wasn’t prepared for was the vulnerability underneath the
hardened exterior. And he really wasn’t prepared to fall in love.
But they did.
Zack needed
some positive press and a second chance after getting out of rehab. He found
the director of Ben’s Life, the
series he planned to audition for. Steve helped him within a loving structured
relationship.
Follow Zack
and Steve as they face the challenges of work, family, injuries, and pasts
together as they redefine family.
