MITZI SZERETO (mitziszereto.com) is an author and anthology editor of multi-genre fiction and nonfiction. She has her own blog, Errant Ramblings: Mitzi Szereto’s Weblog (mitziszereto. com/blog) and a Web TV channel, Mitzi TV (mitziszereto.com/ tv), which covers the “quirky” side of London. Her books include The Wilde Passions of Dorian Gray (a sequel to Oscar Wilde’s classic novel); Darker Edge of Desire: Gothic Tales of Romance and its precursor Red Velvet and Absinthe: Paranormal Erotic Romance; the quirky crime/cozy mystery Normal for Norfolk (The Thelonious T. Bear Chronicles); Thrones of Desire: Erotic Tales of Swords, Mist and Fire; the Jane Austen sex parody Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts; In Sleeping Beauty’s Bed: Erotic Fairy Tales; Getting Even: Revenge Stories; Wicked: Sexy Tales of Legendary Lovers; Dying For It: Tales of Sex and Death; the Erotic Travel Tales anthologies and many other titles as well as short stories. She’s known for having pioneered erotic writing workshops in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe and has lectured in creative writing at several British universities. Her anthology Erotic Travel Tales 2 is the first anthology of erotica to feature a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Mitzi’s next book will be Rotten Peaches (The Thelonious T. Bear Chronicles), the second installment in the series cowritten with her celebrity bear, Teddy Tedaloo. She divides her time between London, England and various locations in the United States, where she occasionally provides safe harbor to lost (and hungry) zombies.
