Ilianna Binoche

Andrea D. Tumblin is an East Texas native who was born on a cold winter morning in January 1976. She is the second of four children from a Texarkana, Texas family. Educated in the Texarkana Arkansas and Nashville Arkansas School Districts, Andrea learned early in life about the polarized social pressures between black and white Southerners. As an African American woman who has lived in the South her entire life, she always questioned the taboos associated with interracial love and romance. After working in management for many years and raising children, Andrea decided to write a collection of romance novellas under the pen name, Ilianna Binoche, called the "Taboos & Temptations Collection". She has penned spicy romance novellas such as "The Dividing Line", "Chaebol: Topaz", and "For Sale". Nearly twenty years in the busy Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex taught Andrea to appreciate every second of her day.
