Welcome Max Vos on the GRL Dirty Dozen Blog Tour!

 
 
Welcome to the blog Max Vos on the GRL Dirty Dozen Blog Tour. We are a group of authors who are going to GRL as Supporting Authors. We all got together and came up with questions we all will answer on the tour. Here are Max's answers.
 
TM ~ What inspires you most when you are writing?
It can be just about anything. Once it was a guy on a motorcycle.
 
Tempeste ~ What brought you to write m/m? What keeps you writing in this genre?
After retiring, I was bored and started reading. Then a friend suggested I try writing.
 
Carter ~ Of all the characters you've written, who is your favorite and why?
I think my favorite is Johnny Milloway from My Hero. He is just so basic and down to earth.
 
LE ~ Many of us have pen names that we use and there are an infinite number of ways and reasons behind them, but I doubt many of them reflect the names we wish we’d been born with.  If you could micro-manage the ultimate do-over, what birth name do you want? What nickname?
Actually, I’m quite happy with the name I have. I don’t really care what you call me as long as you call me for dinner.
 
Morticia ~ Name one unusual fact about yourself that you think your readers would be surprised to learn.
My major in college was classical music.
 
Rafe Haze:  "What do you do that most injurs the progress of your writing, and why do you do it?"
Playing outside. I do it because I can!
         
Jeff ~ If you had to trade writing for another creative pursuit, what would it be?
Since this is my second career, I think I already did that. I was a chef, now I write.
 
Max ~ In one sentence, write the beginning of a sex scene using some kind of food. Think of it as your hook.
“You are one hot tamale, Juan but I think I’d prefer you a little spicier,” Jethro said holding up a bottle of hot sauce, his eyebrows wagging mischievously.
 
Wade ~ Name one of your favorite characters of all time that someone else wrote. Can be M/M or any genre.
Has to be Mammy from Gone With the Wind.
 
JC ~ If you could be one of your characters, who would you be and why?
Hawk, from Hawk –n- Harley. He’s just a butch badass biker dude.
 
Diana ~ How many versions of a book do you usually write before you arrive at ‘the one’, and how does your editor impact that?
I only write one version. The editor has to deal with it.
 
Ethan ~ If you came with a warning label, what would it be?
WARNING: He bites!
