Alicia's interest in romance began as a child when she used
to hide out reading her mom's forbidden romance novels. She
remembers very distinctly the first time she ever read Gone
with the Wind and was instantly hooked on the concept of
the
Southern gentlemanly rake. She likes to think that there's
a
little bit of Rhett in all of her heroes, whether they be
sexy cowboys or dark and brooding rock stars.
Always writing against a soundtrack, Alicia finds
inspiration for her cowboys and contemporary heroes from
country musicians such as Kenny Chesney. Her love for the
gothadelic sounds of Type O Negative has inspired several
vampire stories and stories about tragically beautiful
musicians. Other inspirations include the music of Saliva,
Van Halen, Santana, Blake Shelton, and Prince. (She's a
Gemini. That explains the wide variety of influences!)
Alicia has completed several manuscripts ranging from
comedic contemporaries to dark, sexy paranormals and
fantastical futuristics.
Her favorite ice cream is Godiva's dark chocolate truffle.
Eaten straight from the container, it is almost—almost—as
good as reading erotica!
