Simone Beaudelaire

In the world of the written word, Simone Beaudelaire strives for technical excellence while advancing a worldview in which the sacred and the sensual blend into stories of people whose relationships are founded in faith, but are no less passionate for it. Unapologetically explicit, yet undeniably classy, Beaudelaire’s 20+ novels aim to make readers think, cry, pray… and get a little hot and bothered. In real life, the author’s alter-ego teaches composition at a community college on the gulf coast of Texas, where she lives with her children, cats, and husband—fellow author Edwin Stark. As both romance writer and academic, Beaudelaire devotes herself to promoting the rhetorical value of the romance in hopes of overcoming the stigma associated with literature’s biggest female-centered genre.
