Alan Florine is a Dutch writer based in Amsterdam. She likes to read and write dark (and I mean DARK) M/M/F (bisexual) romances with tormented male protagonists and is a hopeless romantic, although her "love" stories scare the bejesus out of most people. She is obsessed with her lovely partner, her tiny garden that apparently supports half the population of cunning European woodmice, and the red Acer tree she can see from her window. She has just self-published her first book in an ancient Rome romantic fantasy series called the Empress and the Vagabond. A second in the series is on the way. The first book, Vagabond: A tale of a slave's survival in ancient Rome, is freely available on Kindle Unlimited, and available for purchase in ebook and paperback format on Amazon. The second book in the series is called Dominus: A tale of a slave's revenge in ancient Rome. It will be published by the end of August (August 30, 2019) on Amazon.
