Greetings from Katrina Strauss, author of dark romance, erotica & yaoi! I discovered my love of romance novels with childhood peeks at my grandmother's paperbacks. As an author, I pay homage to the timeless genre of romance with my own modern, spicy twist. Be it homoerotic, heterosexual, or "menage", from steamy romance to BDSM kink, my stories are all about finding that special someone. I embrace paranormal, historical, and contemporary themes, while my male/male stories are heavily influenced by yaoi, a special brand of homoerotica with roots in Japanese manga. A Texan by birthright with the accent to prove it, I currently reside with my family near St. Louis, Missouri. When not writing, I enjoy reading, cooking, music, and entirely too much anime. Thanks for coming to my site, and I hope my selection of books whets your appetite!
