From Melissa MacNeal's webpage:
Truly a woman for the new millennium, I first appeared in print with DEVIL'S FIRE in 2000. I'd published in other genres... Who knew that DEVIL’S FIRE would spark a whole new persona, with a signature outfit, for when I speak at conferences and do autographings? I was prepping for my first signing as Melissa when the manager’s assistant (way ahead of her time--and me) said the two magic words: WEAR LEATHER
So I whipped up a black leather mini and a lace jacket, wore it with kick-ass heels and a black cami, and I was a hit! Over the next year or two I found my gloves and revamped a veiled hat from an antique store. Bought my little beaded boa from a mark-down box at the mall. I call it my kitty...as in, “wanna stroke my kitty?” Gets ‘em every time! ; 0
Along with four books for the Black Lace line, I’ve published a couple of serialized novels at WickedVelvet.com--all with a historical voice I called “Victoria Holt writing as Fanny Hill.” I’ve now moved into Kensington’s Aphrodisia line with a fresh (and yeah, I get feisty!) contemporary voice, featuring bad girls and boys very much into real-time pleasures and the technology that goes with them.
When I’m not writing, I love to travel (can you say “cruise ship”?), cook, crochet, speak at conferences, and yes...watch dirty movies. I live in the Midwest--the buckle of the Bible Belt, matter of fact--but I spend most of my time in imaginary situations and places.
