Paris Dixon was born and raised in the "steamy South"—Savannah, GA., to be exact—an undisclosed number of years ago. According to Paris, having grown up in a city filled with countless historical homes and avenues where hanging moss lazily sways from live oaks did much for her vivid imagination, especially after majoring in history in college. Her period of focus has always been the antebellum era of American History.

"The decades prior to the Civil War," says Paris, "have always fascinated me. This was a time when dresses became wider, tempers ran shorter, and a horrific institution called 'slavery' was the norm. I've often wondered what might have occurred within the walls of some of Savannah's grand estates and plantation houses when a combination of humid-heavy summers and society's strict mores played havoc with the urges of handsome young gentlemen and their nubile ladyloves. As personal accounts of the period clearly indicate, courting lovers of the era were wont to raise a glass of mint julep on their shady verandahs and complain about the weather while batting eyelashes at one another in the company of matronly chaperones. But what happened during these heat-filled summers when these passionate young adults with raging hormones decided to ditch these observant sentinels in favor of some 'alone time'? Unfortunately, I suspect some of the more fascinating history of mankind never made it into the history books."

Paris is the award-winning author of several erotica books and the forthcoming Cry Merci and HIM (respectively scheduled for release in 2005 and 2006 by Amber Quill Press). Additionally, her short contemporary erotica stories, Lechery For The Devil, Morning Ritual, and the newest releases, News At 11 and Hot For Teacher, are now available, as well as her award-winning paranormal erotica novella Passion Knows No Boundaries, the vampire novella Sisters Of The Secret Confederacy, and the dark fantasy erotic novel The Essence Of Magic.
