I've been
writing for many years, starting out at County College of Morris in New Jersey
with a course in Journalism. Since then I've published five novels for Black
Lace Books under a pseudonym (Savannah Smythe) and one ghostwritten book for
glamour celebrity, Abi Titmuss, in 2005 (10 Fantasies.) Also, I've published
two M/M erotica stories as S. A. Smythe, Lexington Black and Docklands
Diamond, both available on Amazon and Smashwords. Since
then I’ve published The Cloud Seeker and Closer Than Blood, both
romantic suspense novels under Hollow Hills Publishing. At the moment, I'm and
I’m working on my third Jayne Lockwood novel. I draw from my experiences as an
Englishwoman and my time in New Jersey. The area of the Chilterns where I grew
up and where I live now is rich in inspiration, secrets and tales from the
past. As an author, I have more stories inside me than time to write them! Finally,
I also write book reviews for WROTE Podcast (http://wrotepodcast.com.) WROTE stands for
WRitten On The Edge, and features authors and other creatives from the LGBTQ
community. I’m very proud to be a part of this venture, which was started in
2014 by myself, S.A. Collins and Vance Bastian, both terrific authors and
friends. The podcast is going from strength to strength, and is a great way of
getting to know some fantastic LGBTQ writers and artists.
