New FAB Intro: Marianne Stephens

Hi all! I’m excited to join this group of talented  authors …love and romance rule the world!

My passion for reading romance started with my first  Barbara Cartland novel. I was hooked on HEAs,   regencies/historicals, and devoured them like a  thirsty traveler wandering in a desert.

I moved on to contemporary romances and then my  interest spread to paranormals.

I decided to try writing a romance book in 1994…and reality slammed me in  the face almost immediately. My submitted book got rejected, and one kind agent suggested I put dialogue in my story. Seems I’d written most of it as narrative.

I had much to learn! So, I joined writing groups, critique groups, went to conferences/conventions, and eventually learned the ins and outs of the romance industry and how to write!

I’ve published four sensual mainstream romances under the pen name of Marianne Stephens, and I’ve also published two erotic romances as April Ash.
Those who know and love me will testify to the fact that they always knew I had a split personality…and it helps define the genres I write!

Love, passion, lust, sex, heat, hunks, romance…the list of what goes into a romance books is full of hot adjectives and nouns…and some naughty verbs, too! The words make our stories “come to life”, invading your usual routine as we try to transport you into a fantasy world where you fall in love with our heroes and heroines.
