Diana Laurence made her name writing "erotica with soul"--tasteful erotic romance. She believes the power of sex in fiction is derived from the personalities it engages; it is the union of souls, the commingling of distinct personalities, which most clearly demonstrates the beauty of sex. Her novels "Souls' Embrace" and "Bloodchained," meanwhile, are paranormal romances with suspense and a good dash of spiciness. While less "graphic" than her anthologies, Diana's novels deal with some of the same engrossing themes: attraction, intimacy, desire and trust, submission and dominance, and the bonds between souls. Diana is the force behind LBR Press, and also writes under the name Diane Lau.
