Name: Fatorangekat- My professional author name: Gwenna Sebastian Genre you like to write/would like to write: I've been writing M/M period military romances. That's a mouthful- lol- but I write mostly about Vietnam. Link something original that you wrote (or add excerpt/short piece here), with a short description: Go to Amazon and search under Gwenna Sebastian. VN2 is my latest release and is a futuristic Vietnam set on another world called VN2. Anything else you'd like to tell us about your original writing: I kid about the fact that I was writing military romances before they were made popular thanks to SEAL TEAM Six. Although I don't write about the SEALs, I do write about men in the Army during a time when it was extremely dangerous to be gay. In the sixties, being gay meant you were happy, it was not a term for sexual orientation. And it was considered a disease and mindset. I'm drawn to this, about telling the stories of men who were heroes but considered deviants by society. Soldiers returning home from Vietnam were spit on. Imagine coming home to that and being gay as well? I have another novel out- Lost and Found but my publisher was just acquired and so we are waiting on the new contracts before it will be available again.
