An Expanded Love


This is the blog for my polyamorous romantic novel, An Expanded Love. Polyamory is consensual non-monogamy, or simply put: loving more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. You can buy An Expanded Love on Lulu or Amazon or Smashwords, in print and as an e-book. *

An Englishman’s home may be his castle, but where does that put me? Someone asked me an interesting question on Saturday.  I was at Wales Bifest, in the Poly workshop.  A man who was new to the concept of multiple loves asked me where I considered home.  Do I belong with my boyfriend or my girlfriend?  Who do I live with the most? I tapped my chest, and said, ‘This is home.  This is where I belong.’  Being Polyamorous does not guarantee that I’ll always live with the people I love.  People don’t owe me anything.  And after spending some time in the past being homeless, it means a lot to me to feel secure and responsible for my own self.  It’s also scary as hell, but I prefer it that way to just being complacent. BiFest Wales was great, Cardiff was lovely, and I’m grateful for the roof over my head on a daily basis. Photo: Cardiff Keep, taken by myself.
