About Me

The reader is entertained by the journey of another, but the writer is the changer of worlds D'ni proverb.I grew up being told more often than not that daydreaming was a waste of time. What a crock that turned out to be. Those wild, fanciful dreams were to one day become the fodder for the erotic tales that now flow onto the pages of my stories. If anyone is interested in sampling those daydreams that became stories, please visit my website at (www.dmusgrave.com).Since then, a variety of genres have been dabbled in, but the 'other' works had no audience, until I connected to the Internet and a whole new world of possibilities for my writing unfolded. Many struggles and much effort later, I discovered that I indeed could write and, most surprisingly, people wanted to read the words that spilled out of my mind.In the fall of 2003, I finished my first novel, 'Trail of Seduction'. It was published by Renaissance E-books and was subsequently voted fourth best romance of 2003 on the Preditors and Editors poll. I followed that up with my second novel, 'Foxy! A Smoking Hot Tale of Bikers and Babes', released by Renaissance E-books amidst a flurry of hysteria.By the spring of 2005, a selection of my favorite short stories was released in a collection titled “Hidden Treasures: Discovering Eros’. My works have garnered much acclaim and Sensual Romance Reviews hailed my erotic novels, "An emotional roller coaster of needs, desires, doubts, and rewards."Most recently, I has secured the re-release of two of my previously published novellas. Jaded Dick is currently available through (www.loveyoudivine.com). Also, Blood Creek Haunting has been accepted by Phaze for a April 2nd release. In addition to that, I am part of an anthology titled 413 Remembrance Lane, which is tentatively scheduled for release through Phaze in the fall.If you'd like to contact me, please send your email to: [email protected] Website: www.dmusgrave.com
