theatrical sword-fighting (a skill she utilized in Army of Darkness as a
Deadite and fight captain). She’s addicted to bad movies and any book or
film, good or bad, which include zombies. She is the author of the Ashley
Parker series (Plague Town, Plague Nation and the upcoming Plague World,
Titan Books), touted as “Buffy meets The Walking Dead,” as well as the cozy
noir mystery Murder for Hire: the Peruvian Pigeon, and several spicy genre
romances written under the name Inara LaVey. She’s also co-written two
nonfiction sex “self-help” books (What Women Really Want in Bed and Secret
Seductions) with Cynthia Gentry. She lives in San Francisco with her
boyfriend David Fitzgerald (who writes erotica under the pen name Kilt
Kilpatrick and also contributed to both non-fiction books), their dog
Pogeen, and a small horde of felines.
