I’m an award-winning British author writing fiction across several genres: contemporary erotica, erotic romance, paranormal and fantasy. If you don’t know my work, you'll find some free reads and lots of tasters from my published and forthcoming work on my website: www.saskiawalker.co.uk
My short stories and novellas appear in over forty international anthologies -- you can see a few of the sexy covers in the slideshow below. 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 Heat line. DOUBLE DARE recently won the Passionate Plume Award for best contemporary erotic romance of 2006.
Two 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, will be published by Penguin Heat. 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.
