long-time resident of Wyoming, Alexandra Adams loves the sagebrush deserts, the picturesque ranchland and the towering mountain peaks she can see from the windows of her home. Happily married for many years to a man who is friend, soul mate and lover as well as husband, she lives a rather secluded life devoted chiefly, these days, to creating works of romantic fiction. An admirer of classical erotica, Alexandra Adams most emphatically believes that no social stigma ought to attach to the reading, writing, or publication of well-crafted literary works that celebrate sensual pleasure. Her erotic novels target mature, sophisticated, uninhibited readers who frankly enjoy character-driven narratives featuring explicitly sensual scenes. An author who writes passionately and evocatively of adventurous lovers, she consistently strives to fire the imagination and liberate the sensualist living within each of her readers. From February of 2000 to November of 2006, Ms. Adams sold downloads of four of her erotic novels from the Web site she owns and operates: http://www.sexynovels.com/. Doubleday’s Venus Book Club published two of those works, offering to the Club’s members hardbound editions of Gabrielle’s Awakening in November of 2001, and Evolution of an Affair in September of 2002. In November of 2006, Double Dragon Publishing, Inc. acquired the digital rights to the four erotic novels she formerly sold from her Web site. The other three novels will be published at DDP in 2007.
