Author Bio
Eden
Walker (nicknamed Aziza, or Beloved) is a South African who worked as an
actress and a psychologist before committing to writing full-time. She first
began writing love stories on a whiteboard as a teen, the advantage being that
she could rub the risque bits out before anyone saw them! Now she is having
great fun going public. Starting with short stories and poetry, she then
brought out a hot African romance series for Ankara Press: The Seeing Place and
its sequel, This Crazy Paradise. In 2017 she published One Night in Venice with
Tirgearr, as part of the popular City Nights Series. Look out for its sequel,
One Night in Denpasar, in August 2018!

I'll be
doing posts about TRAVEL romance: romance with exotic settings, like Africa,
Bali and Italy! I'll be giving away a copy of One Night in Venice to a reader
who can email the answer to a simple question. There will be some fun quizzes,
background stories, excerpts and questions to readers.
