I’m an award-winning British author of erotic fiction - if you don’t know my work, you'll find some free reads and lots of tasters from my published work on my website: http://www.saskiawalker.co.uk/home.html
My short stories and novellas appear in over fifty international anthologies including BEST WOMEN'S EROTICA, THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST NEW EROTICA, and the Black Lace WICKED WORDS series -- you can see a few of the sexy covers in the slideshow below. My work has also featured in several international magazines including PENTHOUSE, BUST and SCARLET.
After writing shorts for several years I moved into novel-length projects and DOUBLE DARE, my first full-length contemporary erotic romance novel, was published in October 2006 on the new Penguin (US) Heat line. DOUBLE DARE won the Passionate Plume Award for best contemporary erotic romance of 2006.
Two erotic fantasy novels followed on the Juno books line in 2007: THE STRANGELING and UNVEILING THE SORCERESS. In July 2008 my second contemporary erotic romance novel, RECKLESS, was published by Penguin Heat. My next novel, RAMPANT, was signed by Harlequin in a 2 book deal for the Spice line. I have lots more in the pipeline, and many more stories to tell!
I live in the north of England, close to the beautiful Yorkshire moors. Before I settled down here I traveled extensively, and I truly believe that visiting exotic countries contributed greatly to my desire to write -- that and an extremely vivid and active imagination.
