About Me

My Photo
Janine Ashbless
Erotic fiction writing: it's not as wild and glamorous as you think. I spend a lot of time trying to keep my semicolons under control; I love the little beggars, but no one else does. I also worry about hyphenation - Blow-job? Blow job? Blowjob? - and am addicted to Spider Solitaire.

Work in Progress

My vampire erotica novel Red Grow the Roses and my erotic fairytale novel Named and Shamed were published in 2012.

I've just finished writing a new collection of short paranormal stories, Wild Enchantments.

In 2013 I'm going to be writing an erotic romance novel about fallen angels, Cover Him With Darkness, for Cleis Press.
