Miss Black

Under the pen name “Miss Black”, Amanda Blake writes mainly erotic novellas, ranging from romance to crime, and from science fiction to fantasy. She has published over a hundred novels and novellas, with 300,000 copies sold in the Italian market.

“My work is mostly listed as ‘erotic’, because this is the current euphemism. And, yes, most of my books actually feature a high sexual content: free, joyful, sometimes kinky and always self-liberating sex! Besides that my books have a feminist angle, an actual plot, carefully constructed characters, a literate, well-researched background, and feature social and political issues. They have a purpose… and invariably a love story in them. I think you can write romance without being silly and without falling into stereotypes. So please get a closer look at them, before thinking ‘Pff, erotic!’ You would be surprised.”

After many years in England, Amanda returned to Italy, where she lives with her Scottish husband and three cats.
