Bio

Called a “Trollop with a Laptop” by East Bay Express, a “Literary Siren” by Good Vibrations, and “Erotica’s Own Superwoman” by The East Bay Literary Examiner, Alison Tyler has made being naughty a full-time job. Her sultry short stories have appeared in more than 100 anthologies including Sex for America edited by Stephen Elliott, Purple Panties edited by Zane, and Best Women’s Erotica 2011 edited by Violet Blue. Her stories have appeared in Playgirl Magazine, Penthouse Variations, and Fishnet.

She is the editor of more than 50 erotic anthologies, including Alison’s Wonderland, Naked Erotica, Naughty Fairy Tales from A to Z, and With This Ring, I Thee Bed. Her 25 novels include Tiffany Twisted, Melt With You, and Something About Workmen.

Ms. Tyler is loyal to coffee (black), lipstick (red), and tequila (straight). She has tattoos, but no piercings; a wicked tongue, but a quick smile; and bittersweet memories, but no regrets. She believes the rain won’t fall if she doesn’t bring an umbrella, prefers hot and dry to cold and wet, and loves to spout her favorite motto: “You can sleep when you’re dead.” She chooses Led Zeppelin over the Beatles, the Cure over the Smiths, and the Stones over everyone—yet although she appreciates good rock, she has a pitiful weakness for ’80s hair bands.

In all things important, she remains faithful to her husband of 15 years, but she still can’t choose just one perfume.
