Really means a lot. Glad you enjoy my interview and book excerpt.<br /><br />As for Cathleen Ross, I am glad you enjoyed the humor, but to be honest -- none of my book is based on fantasy. I call it reality fiction or real life erotica. In fact, I pride myself on delving into areas other authors avoid -- frankness about sex, problems with monogamy and convential relationships and the swinging lifestyle. <br />I don't sugarcoat things like much of the erotica I read these days. <br />Also last time I checked -- one didn't have to incarcerated in a soul sucking prison to write truthful erotica and to explore what some men (more than will admit it) really think about sex and monogamy.<br /><br />Kudos to Cara Bristol for asking such wonderful and thoughtful questions and being brave enough to tackle such controversial subjects.<br /><br />George Pappas<br />author of novel "Monogamy Sucks"George Pappashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140694195936248490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141313224798481619.post-29020054246506290262011-07-05T20:20:26.106-04:002011-07-05T20:20:26.106-04:00Brilliant interview George.

A w...I applaud your honesty and adventurous spirit. A whole lot of individuals live in denial about their true sexual natures, whether basically monogamous, or not. Personally, I've reached the conclusion that as a race we are genetically designed to be one way or the other. I can say that because I have no interest in anything but monogamy, and am, at the same time erotically adventurous by nature. However, I certainly don't want to impose that way of being on anyone else, just as I don't want not-monogamy forced on me as a preferred lifestyle. I want to live in a world where both are accepted as lifestyles, and no one is put down. <br /><br />And, that's why I write the books I do, paranormal erotic romance. It's the truth for me even it it is fictional and considered fantasy.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141313224798481619.post-84501818312083118912011-07-05T11:47:31.061-04:002011-07-05T11:47:31.061-04:00I have to agree with this statement "I think ...I have to agree with this statement "I think the biggest misconception about monogamy is that people assume that it is for everyone and that if you can’t live that way that there must be something wrong with you."<br /><br />SO true- great interview Cara and Steve<br />Dawne PAn Open Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844845979538255047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141313224798481619.post-24056876400376719822011-07-05T10:22:09.790-04:002011-07-05T10:22:09.790-04:00I agree with your statement that people have to do...I agree with your statement that people have to do what is right for themselves, be it in a monogamous relationship or swinger lifestyle. Problems occur when you're going against what is right for you. This book sounds interesting! Men and women do think very differently about things, particularly sex.<br /><br />Congratulations to you and I wish you much future success! Great interview :)Kellie Kamrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128538194212450324noreply@blogger.com
