Hi Josh. Apart from Murder Between The Pages, are you planning to do any other book in dual POV?
Josh Lanyon
Hi there, Mwanamali Mari!
Yes, I'll continue to switch off the POV if the story seems to require insight into what both characters might be thinking.
In fact, this is something I've always done -- the entire Dangerous Ground series switches point of view, for example. Snowball in Hell and This Rough Magic are two historicals where I switch off the POV.
My newest short story, Plenty of Fish, switches POV.
Usually I base that decision on two factors -- 1 - Whether it's crucial for the reader to know what both men are thinking, and 2 - Whether both men will be having equally interesting adventures apart from each other.

I keep rereading my favorite books of yours, and the though that I can never get rid of - how much I would love to read a M/F romance from you. I never think this about any other MM author, but your characterization is always so great, I can't imagine gender being an obstacle to you. Is this something you have ever considered?
