I am Rotherham’s foremost (okay, only) writer of quality erotica and erotic romance. Though I’m now based in London, family and football take me back North on a regular basis. Indeed, if you’re ever at a Rotherham United match (I know, what are the chances?) and you spot a small blonde with a large ‘London Millers’ flag, that’ll be me.
For twenty years, I worked on the UK edition of Forum magazine, for most of those years as editor. In that time, I built up the fiction side of the magazine, and was responsible for publishing the first stories by lots of now well-known and established erotic authors – most notably Portia da Costa and Lindsay Gordon, who was until recently Black Lace’s series editor.
However, I love writing even more than I love editing, and I’ve finally taken the plunge to write full-time. I’ve had stories published by Black Lace, Xcite Books, Cleis Press, Circlet Press, Mammoth, Ravenous Romance, Total-e-bound and more, and my collection of three gay erotic novellas, Wild Rides, will be coming out as a print book from Xcite in 2012. And I’m happy in my work…
You were the first editor to publish my stories, Elizabeth. I went on to be published by Virgin Books Black Lace and most recently by Xcite Books. I’d just like to say thank you for setting me on my way!

Thanks very much, Toni. Nice to see your writing looks to be going well.
Hi Elizabeth. Hope you’re well. Sorry for posting this as a comment, but I just wanted to let you know about my new site, Erotica For All. It’s a site for readers, writers and everyone in between. I’m posting author profiles, free reads, competitions and much more on there, and was hoping you’d like to get involved. Check out http://eroticaforall.co.uk/authors/ to find out more.
Thanks,

Hey Elizabeth, really miss those EC editorial columns in Forum.
Good to see you’re writing full-time now though. Send me something for Embrace some day. If you have anything that will fit!!

Hi Elizabeth. Just to say a few things.
Keep up the good work!!
First, I’ve read Summer of Lust (loved it) and am currently reading Masked Desires and enjoying it (though im not far into it yet).
