Greetings from Katrina Strauss, author of romance, erotica & yaoi! I've been a military brat, goth girl, pizza chef, and pinup photographer, but so far nothing that's landed me in jail. 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 with my own modern, spicy twist. From steamy romance to BDSM kink, my stories are all about finding that special someone. My work ranges from historical to contemporary. Some stories feature romance between a man and a woman; others focus on gay couples and bear a strong Japanese yaoi influence. Whatever the setting or pairing, my goal is to show how any two people can meet, fall in love, and then grow from that love. What can I say? I'm a romantic at heart! 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!
