About this author

Whether as D. Renee Bagby or Zenobia Renquist, Renee lives in her imagination. When not traveling through her fantasy worlds, she can be found in HI living with her husband and two cats.

She is an Air Force brat turned Air Force wife, which means she's accustomed to travel and does it whenever possible (so long as she doesn't have to fly). Her favorite pastime is torturing her characters on their way to happily-ever-after for the enjoyment of her readers.

On the few occasions her muse flees the scene of the crime, Renee likes to read (comics, manga, and romance), go to the movies, play a few levels of Diner Dash or experiment with a new chain maille weave.


From the Macross Plus soundtrack comes The Borderline




This is one of those songs that I play when writing sex scenes. :P

She knows this man to the depths of her soul, but she and Darius are on opposite sides of a war that has raged for centuries. It's more than her heart at stake if she gives in to her desires.

ON A WHIM by Zenobia Renquist

Guardian's Tales Book One


Mortals should beware the whims of gods.

Rosaline never thought she would find a meaningful relationship at an adult party for the denizens of the preternatural community. She came to have fun and flirt with danger while hiding behind the safety of the party's rules. And then she met Sebastian, a demi-god who demands all her attention and satisfies her every need.

Even though her head says it's nothing but pleasure between consenting adults with no strings attached, her heart is wondering if this fickle demi-god might actually want to be with her.

PET'S PLEAURE by Zenobia Renquist

The love of a good owner is hard to find.

Starling envied the easy life of pets...until she became one. Kidnapped from Earth and sold to the highest bidder, she now belongs to an alien king. But she doesn't want to be his pampered possession. She wants Bekion to see her as an independent woman with needs and desires of her own.


Only deviants break the laws barring sexual relations between owners and their pets, and King Bekion has no intention of succumbing to simple lust. But the long nights with Starling's lush body pressed tight against his take a toll. Her strength and intelligence make it difficult for Bekion to remember Starling is human - and forbidden. He knows it isn't right but he can't stop thinking of his pet and all the pleasure he could give her, even if it costs him his crown.
