ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Em Petrova lives in backwoods Pennsylvania, where she raises four kids and two feral kittens and pays too damn much for utilities. But seeing her sexy husband tromp out back with a chainsaw in hand is well worth the frustration of living miles from a mall. She adores writing sex scenes and anything paranormal. When she has the opportunity to mix the two, she’s in her element. You can learn more about her smutty reads at http://www.empetrova.com.
Em Petrova has over twenty contracted works of erotic romance as well as mainstream paranormal romance under her pseudonym Em Peters. When she’s not lost in her writings, she’s editing for a small press, so she knows how to crunch a minute and create two.
