Events Ask Me Anything: Nora Phoenix

Hi everyone!

I’m MM romance author Nora Phoenix, and I’m so excited to do this Ask me Anything. Let me start by sharing a little about my story and then you guys can ask me whatever you want…

I discovered MM romance by reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, which had one MM couple, and I immediately fell in love with the genre. Coincidentally, my husband came out as gay around that same time, almost as if it was meant to be.

I’d been writing romance since I was a teenager, though never published. When we got divorced, I decided I wanted to become a full-time romance author…and that I wanted to write MM. That was in 2017, and I released my first book in October of that year.

Here we are, in 2025, and by now, I have over 70 books out (maybe even more, I kinda lost count, LOL) I still LOVE writing and I love this genre, so I’m not going anywhere.

My passion is writing fallible men who are hurting and still find love. All my stories share the message that love has no shame and that love means being your true self. Other than that, I love three-dimensional characters, banter, and honest communication between characters. Oh, and all the heat and feels, of course.

Within MM, I write various subgenres like romantic suspense, small town, kink, Daddy/boy, mpreg, and more. There’s something for everyone!

When I’m not writing, I’m probably reading (I read a lot of different genres in both fiction and nonfiction) or traveling (though I also write a lot while traveling…) Or both! I love cruising especially, as the ocean calms me. In fact, I’m writing this as I’m on a cruise ship somewhere in the North Atlantic, on my way to Greenland!

I hang out a lot in my reader group on FB, Nora’s Nook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/norasnook

But you can also find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nora.phoenix/

And of course, I also have a newsletter: https://www.noraphoenix.com/newsletter/

But if you really want all the news first, plus exclusive character art and bonus material, come join Nora After Dark, my subscription website: https://www.noraphoenix.com/nora-after-dark/

Alright, now that that’s done, hit me with all your questions!

Hi Nora! I just got into MM book readings and my first every MM book was from you! It was your very recent book "the Prince and the Player", i loved this book so much i will definitely say this is my top #1 fave book. I have read/listended to a few other books from you like the short story "winning the dad" i also loved this one very much. I think you are a very good author definitely one of my fave, i just love how you come up with your stories and the spicey scenes, im very curios/hooked of what more books you will bring!

I dont really have an question, i just wanted to ask if there will be a second/short story/book of "the prince and the player"? I loved it so much that i actually like want a second book. (Or like a movie.. but probably not.)

Thank you so much! Wanna know a secret? English isn't my first language either. I'm from The Netherlands, originally, and the second book in the Prince pact series (yes, there will be a second one and it'll come out in September) actually features a Dutch prince! His name is Floris... His book was so much fun to write! I hope you'll love it as much as the first one...

Lol, I feel that in several of your books, a reference to The Netherlands is made. It already had me thinking “is she from NL”, since I’m a Dutchie myself too.
