I have always loved to imagine storylines, plots and characters, however it wasn't until I found a diary early in 2013 that was twelve years old that I got my act together and finally did something about it. The diary I found in my garage was from the year 2002, I had written down my goals for that oncoming year. Goal number 1 was to write an erotic romance fiction novel about Joshua Stanton.....I still remember frowning as I read and sitting down on a crate and reading the words over and over again. I had no idea that I had these characters had been in my head for so long...they weren't going anywhere, eleven years is a long time to think about something....what in the hell was I doing? I walked into my house fired up my computer and immediately typed the words... Chapter 1, and the rest they say is history :)

From the day I started writing I knew I would be an indie author. Erotic Romance in today's market place is predominantly digital imprint and unless you are a known successful author with at least five books under your belt you have a very slim chance of becoming traditionally published at first. I have a different style of writing to most erotic fiction writers, I call my writing style Provocative Romance, I write about true love with steamy encounters and I feel that true erotic fiction is based on sex and then a storyline is written around those scenes. I sit on the fence halfway between traditional romance and erotic fiction......but I always write tender, romantic love.
