IN THE SACK...with Zara Stoneley!
This week I'm unzipping erotic romance author and my good pal, Zara Stoneley!

BIO:
I’ve been writing stories for just about as long as I’ve been reading them – it’s rumoured that I’m related to Elizabeth Gaskell, so maybe it’s in the genes!
I live in a country cottage in the UK with a naughty ginger cat, teenage son and my very own sexy alpha hero. And when I’m not there, you can usually find me in Barcelona.
I love my family, sexy high heels,...

BIO:
I spent a happy childhood in West Sussex, where I avoided reading at all costs, so much so that my English teacher fell off her perch when I told her I got an A in my English lit. O-level (showing my age there!) “How did YOU get an A?” she was heard to exclaim. I studied the sciences at A-level and managed to get through the university years without so much as a peek at a library (not entirely true, but...

IN THE SACK...with Erin Lawless!
This week on In The Sack I am welcoming Harper Impulse author, Erin Lawless!
[image error]
I live a happy life full of wonderful friends, in love with a man who buys me books instead of flowers. To mix things up a little, I write books where friends and lovers hit obstacles and (usually) overcome them. When I’m not doing that I read absolutely everything I can get my hands on, spend an inordinate amount of time in pyjamas and run a fun-but-informative blog on British history.

IN THE SACK...with Romy Sommer
This week, baring all on In The Sack is HarperImpulse author, Romy Sommer!
About: I’ve always written stories for myself, but didn’t even think of being an author until I realised that being over thirty and living in a fantasy world was a little odd. Writing those same stories for other people makes it a lot more acceptable!
By day I dress in cargo pants and boots for my not-so-glamorous job of making movies but at night I come home to my two little Princesses, in Johannesburg, Sout...

Swapping downstairs for upstairs… How hard can it be!?
Look up the phrase ordinary girl and you’ll see a picture of me, Gemma Goodwin – I only look half-decent after applying the entire contents of my make-up bag, and my dating track-record includes a man who treated me to dinner…at a kebab shop. No joke!
The only extraordinary thing about me...
