My bio - the story of a storyteller

Photo of Saskia Walker taken at Whitby Abbey, North Yorkshire. I'm British by birth, but because of my parent's nomadic tendencies I grew up traveling the globe. I was an only child with a major book habit! I dreamed of being a writer since the age of 12 and finally began writing seriously in the late '90s. By then I'd got myself a BA in Art History, a Masters in Literature and the Visual Arts—and I'd worked in all manner of diverse careers—but the stories in my head simply had to be written!

I was first published in the small press under the guidance of the British fantasy writer, Storm Constantine. As well as fantasy and romance, I was also dabbling in erotica. I wanted to incorporate all these elements into my writing, and more. My first erotic short story was published by Virgin publishing's Black Lace imprint in '97. From then on every spare moment was spent on the stories that bubbled away in my imagination.

I’ve now had work published in over fifty anthologies, including Best Women’s Erotica, The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica, the Red Sage Secrets series, and the Black Lace Wicked Words series. It was such a thrill for me to find that readers enjoyed my stories! I started working on novel-length projects and in 2005 Penguin signed my work for their Heat erotic romance line. In 2006 Wildside Press signed my fantasy romance for their Juno Books fantasy line, and in 2008 Harlequin signed my paranormal erotica for their Spice line. I'm now a full time author!

My first full-length single title novel, Double Dare, came out in October 2006, and picked up a Passionate Plume award for Best Contemporary Erotic Romance of 2006. Two fantasy romances followed in 2007, The Strangeling, and Unveiling the Sorceress. Reckless, another contemporary erotic romance, was published in July 2008. I have lots more stories in the pipeline, and many more to tell!

Nowadays I live in the north of England—close to the beautiful, windswept landscape of the Yorkshire moors—with my real life hero, Mark. Mark supports my work through all its ups and downs, and runs the tech side of this website. He also manages to keep me sane and grounded when fiction threatens to take over.
