Larissa Lyons loves cats, chocolate, and her husband—though not necessarily in that order! She’s been a clown, a tax analyst, and a pig castrator >^..^<, but none of those endeavors satisfy quite like putting pen to paper and seeing her stories come to life.

With a penchant for sexy, studly cowboys and rowdy, roaring rogues, Larissa is happiest when writing about strong men with a weakness for the right woman. Now if she could just learn to finish every story she starts…

In her first year of writing erotic romance, two of her publishing contracts came from winning contests. That supremely satisfying feeling continued when she became the Grand Prize Winner of the 2009 Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest, after placing second the year before.

Finding a great friend and fabulous critique partner in fellow-writer Alyssa Brooks, Larissa continues her quest to write quality, emotion- and sex-filled stories for readers to savor.
