About
Liane Gentry Skye was considered the girl most likely to become a nun in high school. Upon graduation, she wasted no time rewriting her miserable destiny. Two marriages, one real life alpha hero and four beautiful babies later, she decided it wise to exchange her rhinestone thong for soccer mom sweats.
These days, her walk on the wild side lives (mostly) in her imagination.
The mother of two children with autism, what time she doesn't spend breathing life into her secret fantasies, she spends grant writing and advocating for a better world for persons with autism. In that vein, she has written for such venues as Autism/Asperger's Digest, Autism Today, Guideposts: Angels on Earth. And no, given the choice, she wouldn't change a hair on any of her childrens' precious heads.

Story Behind The Book
Writer's block. That's what I blame this story on. I'd just come off of writing a dark, angsty erotic romance and felt emotionally exhausted the intensity of the book. But my muse was clearly out to lunch.
Or was he? ;)
I hope you enjoy this comedic romp with Dante Erato, the woud-be Muse of Love, as much as I enjoyed creating it.
