Much to my surprise, about a month ago the editor of Out magazine contacted me to say “how do you fancy doing an interview?  We’d send someone over to talk to you.  And can you find us some other female authors of m/m fiction who could come along too?”

After being duly gobsmacked and panicking about what a stylish New York reporter would think of the state of my house, I emailed the authors in the UK I knew about, and asked whether they’d like to come and be interviewed too.  Whereupon Out emailed me back saying “actually, we only want one.”
