When I began writing Damon and Toby’s story, it was in response to a short story call. The publisher was looking for 3000 – 5000 words. It very quickly became very apparent that Damon and Toby were going to be far more than a one-off short story.
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
Well, I would say that I’m a competition reality tv show junkie, but I’ve already outed myself on that front, so I’m going to go with that I’m actually quite shy.

Love Matters takes place ten years after Size Matters. Do you enjoy writing about relationships which stand the test of time?
I definitely do. Happily Ever After is important to me and to be able to explore that and share it over years and years is very cool. It takes work, though, you don’t just fall in love with someone and actually live happily ever after without putting in the work and I enjoyed being able to show Trey and Lucien doing exactly that.
My three favorite reality shows:
Survivor. This is where I confess to my guilty pleasure — I'm a closet reality show fan. I totally blameSurvivor, the granddaddy of them all, and still my top favorite. I love watching the interpersonal dynamics, the way people can complain bitterly about the way another contestant is playing the game, even while doing the exact same thing themselves. It's crack, I tell you! But less expensive and not illegal.

Sean Michael has been announced as one of ARe's Top 10 Bestselling authors of 2014.
Why did you decide on the title, Bruised?
Because that was the entire thrust of the book for me. Billy is based on a man I saw briefly and I thought, wouldn't he bruise beautifully? This was one of those titles that came fairly easily to me (and that happens rarely enough that I really appreciate it).
Opposites Attract – that’s what they say, isn’t it?
In one respect, it seems counterintuitive – if you’re opposites, what do you have in common? What is there to keep the relationship going after the initial heat and fire have banked down some?
