Author Jennifer Kohout Shares Their Story

About the Author A former lawyer, Washington native Jennifer Kohout combines a love of the paranormal, romance, and the erotic to create a writing style that is dark and sexy. She enjoys wine and running and those two things have absolutely everything to do with each other! What inspires you to write romance books? Conflict. The stuff that makes you want to yell, scream and curse at the characters. I like the rocky bits, the parts that make you feel things you don’t want to feel.

Author Blair Erotica Shares Their Story

Author Julianna Douglas Shares Their Story

About the Author For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a hopeless romantic and believer in fairy tales. Even as a little girl, my fondest dream was to find a Prince Charming who would sweep me off my feet. I’m happy to say that I did realize that dream and have been married to him for nineteen years. With that being the case, it’s not too surprising that I’ve been obsessed with romance novels since my teens. I read virtually every sub-genre of romance and just can’t get enough of them. Occasionally, over the years, people who know ...
