Welcome to Willa's World! Got Ink?
2007 CAPA Nominee: Favorite Erotica Author
2007 CAPA Nominee: "A Year and a Day"
2007 EPPIE Finalist: "A Year and a Day" (http://www.samhainpublishing.com/ayearandaday.shtml)
You can almost always find me busily working away at the keys, producing yet another story out of the thousands that crowd my brain. I'm published with Changeling Press (www.changelingpress.com), Loose Id (www.loose-id.net), Torquere Press (www.torquerepress.com) and Samhain Publishing (www.samhainpublishing.com).
I'm a full-time writer of LGBT erotic romances, heavy on the erotica, living the dream of a lifetime. I focus on romance, unique characters, quirky storylines and no-holds-barred one-on-one time. Urban fantasy, high fantasy, science fiction, contemporary, cowboys, bad boys, tattoo artists, cyberpunk, steampunk and more. I love to tell stories in which love features as prominently as sex -- but bring 'em on both in quantity!
In my "off time", you can find me watching movies (I love the DVD rental services), reading a book on my Palm Pilot, or hanging out with the cats. Lately, you'll also find me sitting on the porch of my new-old home, part of a mill village in the town that I call home, or chatting with my friendly new neighbors.
Henna: it's more than an obsession. It's a way of life.
I drink far more coffee than is deemed healthy by anyone sane. But I'll only drink stuff brewed from a vacuum-sealed brick if I'm desperate. Yeah, yeah, I know. *grin*
Mottos for life: Try anything once. It's true that writing is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Never, never, never give up.
I'm always open to suggestions for stories and new ideas, and I love to get e-mail from my readers -- plus, I always answer.
Thanks for coming to visit me here, and happy reading!
