About the author

By day Kate Marley is a mild mannered journalist (well mostly, although she gets cross at people not taking their turn making the tea). By night (and on holiday) she writes honestly - and with occasional bursts of sarcasm - about sex. She writes erotic fiction and non-fiction for publishers including Xcite and magazines including Foreplay and Desire Presents BDSM, where she has a regular column, “When Kate did...” which focuses on new sexual experiences and has seen her trying and then writing about erotic mummification and electroplay, among other things.

Focusing on D/s themes, and the anachronism of being an independent woman who enjoys submission, Kate’s first book “Subtext: A Modern Day Tale of Female Submission” came out this autumn. It’s had some very positive reviews so far, Kate’s favourite of which includes the immortal line ‘I will never look at chopsticks in the same way again’ [If you're interested, you can read the first chapter of the book at www.katemarley.com - although the chopsticks don't make an appearance].

Kate’s view on both sex and erotica is that life is too short to be po-faced, and her writing reflects that sense of fun. As well as enjoying writing, she is a voracious reader and since joining this site has found some fab new things to read in the erotica genre and beyond.
