About Me

By day, I am a mild-mannered and hard-working resident of a cube farm. By night, I write extra-steamy romantic erotica and science fiction & fantasy romance.
I have (or will have) books out with Ellora's Cave, Berkley Sensation and Harlequin Spice.
I got my start writing fantasy romance. Since writing a little hotter seemed to come naturally to me, I had no trouble making the move to erotic romance. I love writing books that are heavy on plot, emotion and character development, and also have spicy, no-holds-barred sex scenes. Exploring the elements of dark sexual fantasy in my writing is my favorite thing ever.

    "Do you listen to music when you write?" You know, I never used to. Listening to music tends to distract me because I get too into it and forget to, ya' know...write. But then I bought an iPod and I...
