Safeword

Alex Morgan has extended his short story 'Safeword'. I asked him a few questions about the process.

Bryn: Can you give me a quick insight into what 'Safeword' is about?
Alex: Safe Word is a murder mystery set in Provincetown during Mates weekend, a huge leather gathering. The sleuth is Corey Shaw, a telepath, who is contacted by the Provincetown PD to help solve the mystery.


Bryn: When you first wrote Safeword, did you consider the possibility of it being a novel?
Alex: No, I really considered it to be a short story, but when the reviews started coming in, everyone said it needed to be extended.

Bryn: Is the extended version hotter than the original?
Alex: Yes! I added a chapter at the beginning where Corey’s partner Ethan seduces him with a blindfold and then tantalizes him with different scents and feelings like honey and chocolate.

Bryn: How have you found the process of extending the story?
Alex: It was rather difficult. I meant to keep the story to happen over a long weekend, so filling the novel with only three days of action was a challenge.

Bryn: Might there be sequels, or have you explored these characters as much as you want to? Alex: We shall see more of Corey but I don’t have any immediate plans to use him in a novel at this time.

As soon as the expanded version hits the website, I'll post here!
