About Me

I'm just a little old writer. Okay, maybe I'm not so old. And maybe not that little. But I love to write. Mostly erotic romance and horror, but sometimes humor and science fiction.I've been married for a zillion years to my most wonderful hubbie (wait, now I sound old again). I've also been a subjugated by my pugs, Pearl or I should say by Queen Pearl, since 1999 and more recently by baby Daisy.I grew up in Montreal but have moved around a lot. I've lived in London, Ontario, Glasgow, Scotland and Denton, Texas but am now settled (we hope for good!) in Rochester, NY.

"Ms. Arch has written an incredible short story that creates a mysterious situation that causes the character Katey to question even her sanity. I can't imagine KateyÂ¹s feeling of relief when she isn't the only one to see the mystery man before the band arrives in Alpine. I really liked this story and I would love to read more about the the lives of Katie and her band. Thanks go to Ms. Arch for an interesting story." Teresa
"The sex in this short story was raw, primal and very hot." Kerin at Euro Reviews.
