Lazuli Jones is an LGBTQIA+ romance and women's erotica author as well as a massive geek. They enjoy bad puns, 80's pop culture references, and science-fiction. Their latest novel, BETTER LATE, is now available from Clarian Press. Their first novel, ABYSSAL ZONE (eXtasy Books) is all about the exploration of human/alien sexuality, with some spaceships and lasers to serve as a backdrop. If you enjoy blending sexiness with geek culture, they recommend you check out STARSTRUCK, which can be found in BEST WOMEN'S EROTICA OF THE YEAR, VOLUME I (Cleis Press). Their short stories have appeared in numerous collections including TOY BOX, THEY DO, MYTHOLOGICALLY TORQUED, NASTY: FETISH FIGHTS BACK, and THE BIG BOOK OF SUBMISSION, VOLUME II. No stranger to the stage, Lazuli is also a locally-produced playwright, blending the glitter of live theatre with erotica. They once wrote a play parodying classic Harlequin romance novels, which was really just an excuse to say the words "milky bosoms" and "turgid rubies" over and over. They live with their partner in Ontario, Canada.
