I'm a Sunday Times, New York Times and USA Today bestselling British author of romance, erotic romance and romantic fiction. My novels have been published by a variety of different houses, both in the US and the UK, and translated into many languages including German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian and Japanese. I'm best known for my many novels for the pioneering British erotica publisher Black Lace and I writing books with contemporary, paranormal and occasionally futuristic settings. I'm now venturing into historical erotic romance too, with a new novel for Harlequin Spice set in London in the year 1890.

I also write as Dorothy Starr and Megan Paul

I've been writing for publication since 1990, and have had over twenty novels published

Savannah Portia, thank you for the friendship. I was sure we had already connected here on Goodreads but I guess not. So nice to connect with you on here.

Portia Costa Hi Mica

Yes, G+ looks like fun. I'm still figuring it out there as yet, but I already prefer it to Facebook. :)

I'll look out for your 'Mr Stone'! My Mr Stone is a character I really loved writing about. He'll always have a special place in my heart. :)

Lisa Valdez Hi Portia! Thank you for the "friendship!" I was looking at your books and saw ENTERTAINING MR. STONE. I have a Mr. Stone in my new release, PATIENCE. He is only mentioned and never actually appears in the book, but isn't it interesting how things float around in the creative juice. :-)
