I’m the published author of eleven romance novels with several imprints, including BET Arabesque, Dafina, and Harlequin Kimani, all under the name of Simona Taylor. My alter ego has also published three novels under her real name … shh, it’s Roslyn Carrington, but don’t tell anyone.
Also, I’m from Trinidad and Tobago, in the sunny (okay, sometimes wet) Caribbean. I think that brings a lot of saucy fun to my writing.
Anyhow, for about ten years, I went into hibernation: Kids, breakup, working from home, COVID, blah blah blah. That Roslyn woman threw herself into ghostwriting, and managed to deliver fifty ghostwritten romances to her clients. Yep! FIFTY! Most of them are riding along with 4 1/2 stars on Amazon. Not bad.
Then she thought, hey, if Roslyn can write fifty romances and have them do well, then why can’t Simona? So she went to the glass coffin where I was soundly sleeping and shook me awake.
“Simona!” she yelled. (She’s got a big mouth on her, that woman.) “Time to get up!”
Ugh. I dragged myself awake without even the bonus of a kiss from a prince. I was a little doubtful at first; after all, ten years is a long time to be snoozing. But when she explained her grand plan (to take over the romance world with light, funny romances with just a smidgen of spice), I was all for it.
I got up, brushed my teeth, swopped my sleeping princess gear for old jeans and a t-shirt, plopped my laptop down on my desk, surrounded myself with cats, and began typing.
So here I am, ready to take on the world. Bringing you romance novels you’ll enjoy from cover to cover. My new motto? For Kisses and Giggles. I think that sums it up.
Glad you’re here for the ride!
