BECKY CHERRIMAN – (also known as Ms Writer) is a Leeds-based writer, performer, teacher and mum who works both independently and in collaboration with other artists. She writes surreal narratives about the darker and lighter sides of life and human nature. Her writing is accessible and provocative with elements of ambiguity and comes from a contemporary feminist perspective. She is interested in the challenge of engaging the reader or listener with her flawed characters and their evolving relationships both in her flash fiction and in longer works. Although her stories are not all about sex or love, most contain an erotic element. Becky has performed at various venues including Seven Artspace, Stage@Leeds, The Rotunda Museum and Stockton Riverside Festival, and is hoping to tour her Frayed Edges show with musician Jonnie Khan next spring.
VICTORIA BLISSE
is a mother, wife, Christian, Manchester United fan and erotica writer. She is equally at home behind a laptop or a cooker and she loves to create stories, poems, cakes and biscuits that make people
happy. Published with both Phaze and Total-E-Bound she writes real stories about real people with curves and tummies and other wonderfully wobbly bits. She hopes to inspire a little laugh, a lot of lust and a load of love in every reader with her works of rosy, raunchy romance. She was born near Manchester, England and her northern English quirkiness shows through in all of her stories. Passion, love and laughter fill her works, just as they fill her busy life.
SCARLETT SANDERSON is a mild mannered librarian by day and a sizzling erotica writer by night. Although her specialist field of research is counter-terrorism, Scarlett prefers penning tales about the darker side of pleasure. Published with both The Wild Rose Press and Phaze, she has been writing professionally for three years. Scarlett’s second novella, Devil’s Dance, is still receiving rave reviews despite debuting nine months ago. A versatile author, Scarlett writes a variety of subgenres (paranormal, historical, BDSM, multiple partners). With her stories she mixes a varied blend of passion, sensuality, intensity and real characters – characters that the reader can relate to in spite of the genre. She believes sex is fun and hopes her stories show the joy of women embracing their sexuality!
