Neale Sourna
Neale has been authoring, editing, doing book/ebook layout and publishing about a decade and won BlackRefer.com's Best Erotica Novel award for her first novel, "Hobble," published through her own company, PIE: Perception Is Everything, and Neale successfully ranked as a finalist for New Century Screenplay's national contest for her script, "FRAMES."
Neale also writes and edits for others through her writing company Neale Sourna's Writing-Naked.com (including stories for the Orchid Games' (Sandlot Games distrib) Heartwild Solitaire and Inertia Software's Margrave Manor series PC game lines) [see A Letter About Game Writing].
Neale's many published works, for ebook, print and online, have an edge that always brings the reader back to the core of being human.
"I don't write 'romance' stories, but character love stories, like the short story fiction published at:

Writing with romance of the heart and of adventure, in its many, many human varieties, as seen through the eyes and hearts and bodies of realist characters; whether about military special forces regiments, mail order brides in the outback, class-crossed samurai lovers, wealthy Victorian 'minorities,' or luscious vampires of another color."
All of which are still in the works, but coming your way!
Oddly, Neale has also has had a few stories of the North Coast Academies' Series banned by Amazon Kindle although they had distributed them previously at Amazon Mobipocket!
Neale's based in Cleveland, Ohio, USA (Garfield Heights more specifically) and is a graduate of John F. Kennedy H.S., a former (and again) student of Cuyahoga Community College (Digital Cinema & Editing, Game Building), a graduate of Lake Erie College, and also attended grad Film/Video studies at American University, an undergrad-intern semester at Mount Vernon College for the National Endowment for the Arts Opera-Musical Theatre department, and an academic term abroad in Vienna, Austria.
Neale has several novels, novellas, and short stories in the works; some of which can be read in extended novel and script excerpts at www.Neale-Sourna.com or www.PIE-Percept.com or the full short story/novella/novel ebooks and trade paperbacks can be bought online and ordered at brick and mortar stores's connection through the wonderful Lightning Source brand at Ingram's (wholesale).
A fun fact. Neale shares a birthday with these sensual and sensational authors the Marquis deSade of France and Thomas Hardy of England, which says a thing or two about Neale's take on dramatic writing.

"Becca DuMaurier" novel draft excerpts (not for sale / download no charge):

“My characters push the limits of the envelope when it comes to passion, love, and lust. They can be as elegant and distinguished as Lizzie's Darcy, or as wild and unrelenting as Cathy's Heathcliff; sometimes all in one bold personality. I also believe there is a wider universal mosaic on our planet than mere black and white. My contemporary healer/surgeon in the novel 'Hobble' is half Native American (Mayan Mexican + Peruvian, plus Scottish) and his lover is African American (African + European + American Indian). My people see the world differently; they're often mixed race or of a race, color, or nationality not normally associated with nor depicted in romantic and erotic novels or films as central, positively sexual, and realistic.”
“I believe in romance with bite, sex with enthusiasm, and a full range of emotions from cave to sky that would make 'Heathcliff' and 'Mr. Darcy' fall to their knees in full passion. I believe in romantic erotica that is exciting and invigorating for both men and women. My readers share my books with their lovers. They can't get my books back from their wives. Or husbands.”
