M. Jane Colette

M. Jane Colette writes tragedy for people who like to laugh, comedy for the melancholy, and erotica for women and men who like their fantasies real. She believes rules and hearts were made to be broken; ditto the constraints of genres. The result? "A whole new subgenre of her own… social realist erotica that's frenetic and complex and often funny and very well observed."

Also, smoking hot.
