Paperback Editions now Live!
It's finally happened!
The I Know... Series and MANSIONS are now available as paperbacks! It's so exciting for me. This is the first time I've had physical copies of any of my books. Feels nice to have them in my hands.
I might later do a second printing to make them more widely available, but for now, they're available only on Amazon.

I Know... Series - Paperback Editions
Some news:
I Know What Love Is and Love is Strange are coming to paperback. I'm so excited! It's long overdue but better late than never, I guess. Before, I never intended to release any of my books in paperback, but I've recently realized that physical copies are an important way a lot of readers connect to books (I don't know why it took me so long to get this, my house is covered in books!)
Anyway....
Release date details are coming soon!

Golden Boys is out now!
So the official release date for my new M/M romance is July 22, but KPD published early (because we know how these things go) and so! Golden Boys is out now for Kindle now!
Golden Boys
The description:
“We want to be the best!” Luke shouted, his words echoing off the trees and in the stillness of the night. “Me and you,” Luke pointed, getting further away but still looking right at Shaw. “We're gonna be the best!” Then he turned and ran off into the night.
All his life, Luke Warner wanted to be the best. The best actor, the best athlete, the best friend, the best lay. His best friend Shaw Cruz is just as ambitious to make it in Hollywood - and just as hot. But when a betrayal rocks their friendship, Luke has to live with the fact that he's lost Shaw forever.
It doesn't help that he's been in love with Shaw since they first met.
Shaw Cruz has hit a rough patch in his life. When he and Luke are suddenly thrust back together one Christmas after years apart, Shaw refuses to let Luke get close to him again. But with old tensions rising to the surface, Shaw may not be able to keep himself from falling back into old habits. It's getting harder and harder to keep their lives – and their desires – separate.
It doesn't help that Shaw's suddenly noticing just how sexy his former best friend is...
Golden Boys is a steamy standalone M/M erotic romance.
Check it out today!

Whitney Bianca is publishing a new book!
Hi All!!
We're living in crazy, crazy times, aren't we? 2020 was a DOOZY and now 2021 is halfway over and we're definitely not back to normal and maybe won't ever be. But I have to admit that it's only because of the pandemic that I'm able to write this letter today. Despite everything (or probably in spite of it) I was finally able to drag myself out of the creative rut I was in and push myself headfirst into writing again.
Writing a new book has been a true escape for me in these past stressful 13 months. As many of my readers may have guessed, a few years ago, I hit a severe creative drought that I couldn't seem to shake. I was still writing, I never stopped. But I couldn't FINISH anything, and the longer and longer I went without publishing, the more and more depressed and stressed I got. I never had any intention of not publishing for over 3 years, believe me! I didn't want to abandon my readers or leave you guys in the dark, but it got so hard for me to even come online sometimes. I was very worried that maybe I would never be able to finish another book again.
Over 7 years ago, I started using the pen name Lavender Parker. I have quite a few titles under that name and I definitely hold it very dear to my heart. In 2014, Whitney Bianca was born in order to publish a dark romance that I didn't think belonged under the Lavender Parker name. As time has gone on, I've decided that I don't care about keeping the two apart anymore. So for fans of Whitney Bianca, you can also find my work under Lavender Parker. And for fans of Lavender, I will be publishing my newest book under the name Whitney Bianca.
Yup, you read that right. I will be publishing a new book!!
My new book will be an M/M romance and it will be out July 22 2021!
To date, I've written Interracial Romance, I've written Dark Romance and now I'm dipping my toe more fully into M/M romance as well. A few years ago, I published The Blame Game, which was my first M/M book. At the time, writing was already starting to give me some trouble (Mansions was kicking my ass!) and my sister suggested the genre as a switch up. And at the time, it worked. I think The Blame Game was one of the fastest books I've ever written. I got the idea for my newest book sometime in 2018ish, wrote a few passages, and finally began to write wholeheartedly in 2020.
I'm not abandoning dark romance. I needed a break from the genre for my own personal mental health, but I definitely still have many ideas for dark books brewing.
I will be posting more details about my new book closer to the date. If you've read this far, thank you for sticking with me and I hope I didn't babble too much. Thank you to my readers who have waited patiently for new work. My next book WILL be under the Lavender Parker name, so look forward to that as well :)
tl;dr for those who skimmed:
I have two pen names – Lavender Parker and Whitney Bianca
My newest book will be out July 22nd and will be under the Whitney Bianca name
My new book will be a M/M romance
I'm not abandoning dark romance, just branching out
thank you so much for waiting!! I'm so happy to be writing again!
Love,
Whitney

2016 Release Info
Hello my loves~
I have some really good news that I want to share with all of you. But first, I just want to let you know this is going to be a long post!
So let's dive in.
Now, as everyone may know, last year was crappy for me. My creativity lagged right when I needed it the most. But in 2016, I am going to be back in the game.
I'm releasing a book on Tuesday, Feb 23rd. YAY, right?! Well, yes and no.
I really stressed about writing this book because I know it's not the book that my readers may want. However, I fought so hard with my writer's block last year that when I got inspired to write this book around Christmas, I told myself to just do it. And I wrote and wrote and now it's finished.
The name of the book is The Blame Game. It's a M/M erotica, not M/F dark erotica. I know, right? Where the hell did that come from? Not sure. But when I got the idea for these two characters and the situation that they found themselves in, I couldn't stop writing their story.
I firmly believe that love has no boundaries. I want my readers to know that I fully intend to write the good stories that come in to my head, no matter the subgenre. I do lean heavily toward dark erotica, but I'm not going to limit myself.
Anyway, I'll post later this weekend with more deets about The Blame Game - the cover, the synopsis, etc. But lastly, I want to give status reports on Love is Strange and Mansions.
Love is Strange WILL be released in April 2016. I'm playing with the release date, and when I have it, I might put the book up for pre-sale. I've never done pre-sale before, but it seems like a lot of you readers like it, so I might try it.
Mansions is 2/3rds of the way done. That's about all I know at this time. This book has been such a fucking doozy (pardon my french ha) that it really takes it out of me to write. But it will be done this year. As always, I'll give more info when I have it.
So, if you've gotten this far, thank you so much for reading. I hope you're looking forward to The Blame Game, and if not, well... I hope you'll stick around for Love is Strange.
2016 is going to be a busy year, but it's going to be a good one, I can already tell!

HORRORotica
Hi all!
As Halloween and my release date for "Love Is Strange" approaches (keep a look out for that post bc it is actually coming soon this time hehehe) I wanted to talk a bit about the genre I think is closest to what I'm actually writing in.
As I said in the synopsis of
, writing these books has really taken it out of me. When I started Joan and Elliot's story, I was kind of writing from a place of "Well, let's just see what happens" and I ended up in Crazy Town. Originally, I called that book Dark Erotica because I thought that best described it. But now that I'm knee deep in the sequel (and Mansions) I'm starting to realize that these books are definitely more horror-based than just dark.
Maybe dark erotica encompasses what I'm talking about, but I just want to find a better term so readers know what the books are really going to be about. I'm writing about people on the fringes, depraved people, people who are unapologetically violent. Yes, there's lots of sex, but also blood and gore and death and mind-fuckery.
So, for everybody who's awaiting Mansions and Love is Strange, just know that I consider them to be a mix of horror and erotica, so you can prepare yourselves. Cuz shit's about to get REAL.
:)
Anyway, are you guys excited for Love is Strange? Are you excited for Halloween? Cuz I know I am!
