Alcamia became a full-time writer in 2008 and now spends all her time scribbling and amassing notebooks of ideas.

A bestseller, she enjoys writing gutsy sexy stories and thinks it's great erotica - once a fringe phenomena - has, at long last, been pushed to the front of publishing. She's an ardent advocate of choice in reading, believing it's high time women and men had the freedom to fully explore their sexuality through well-written prose by some terrific writers.

When she's not penning racy books she's beavering away under one of her other pseudonyms as a mainstream romance and paranormal author. Asked what kind of writing she likes best? She says there's no one answer; whether it's historical, romance, science fiction or a supernatural twist she loves it all, but retains a special affection for spicy romance with punch.

Rather an innocent and a somewhat old-fashioned girl, recently someone asked her how she can write such edgy material without having experienced it? Her answer, "sex and love are instincts we all have. A science-fiction writer has not voyaged into deep space, but can write convincingly about aliens and other worlds. The success in penning credible books is being able to get inside a person's skin, research your material and be inventive."

Alcamia has been published in countless anthologies and loves penning novellas and novels across the entire erotica genre range. When she's not scribbling she loves restoring vintage clothing, trying to cook French patisserie and enjoys mega-long walks in the countryside and along the beach. An avid collector her home's bulging at the seams with books she can't part with, which she believes is what makes it so hard for her to find her own Mr Darcy with a twist.
