Can you love more than one person? Have multiple romantic partners, without jealousy or cheating? Absolutely! Polyamorous people have been paving the way, through trial and painful error. Now there’s the new book More Than Two: A practical guide to ethical polyamory to help you find your own way.
Eve Rickert began living polyamorously in 2008. The mistakes and hard lessons she’s learned along the way have informed her writing, with which she hopes to educate others on how to engage in polyamory with integrity, compassion, and courage. Franklin Veaux has been writing about polyamory since 1996 and has been nonmonogamous his whole life—learning the hard way how not to do things. He has multiple partners and writes about everything from relationship ethics to transhumanism to computer security.
As a child, Franklin Veaux heard a fairy tale about a princess forced to choose between two handsome princes, and thought, "Everyone knows princesses live in castles. And castles are big enough for both princes. So why does she have to choose?" He has been writing about polyamory since 1998 at morethantwo.com, one of the top-ranked sites about polyamory on the Web. He currently has five long-term partners and lives in Portland, Oregon.Eve Rickert is a professional writer, editor and mastermind. Her approach to poly has evolved over many years: from early experiences in high school, to first hearing the word polyamory in 1998, to first swingers party in 2006, to her current long-term relationships. She's learned a lot of hard lessons, and co-wrote More Than Two to share those experiences with anyone who is struggling to maintain ethical multiple relationships with integrity, compassion and courage.Franklin Veaux: Portland, Oregon Eve Rickert: Vancouver, British Columbia
