MMP Celebrates Women in Horror Month: Alexandra Christian

Mocha Memoirs Press has long since celebrated and embraced diversity in speculative fiction. Join us as we spotlight our talented female horror authors throughout the month of February. Follow us on twitter @mochamemoirs to get daily tweets and more.

Alexandra Christian (@LexxxChristian), the Southern Belle from Hell, has been a writer for as long as she can remember. 

Here are her thoughts on horror and its importance to her.

"When I began writing horror, I'd never really considered the fact that I was a woman.  I'd been reading Anne Rice and Poppy Z. Brite for so long that it never occurred to me how special it was for a woman to be writing in this genre.  '

As an author, I’d rather be seen as a person who writes great stories, not necessarily a WOMAN who writes great stories.  

My hope for the future is that someday there won't be consideration of whether the writer is male or female, but whether the writer is producing great work.

Check out Alexandra Christian's amazing paranormal, horror romance series, STRANGE BEDFELLOWS. 

Welcome to The Oubliette.

Cali Barrows has had it with love. After wasting three years with the man she thought was the love of her life, she finds out that he’s been sleeping with his boss. Broken-hearted and bored, Cali’s life had become a string of TV dinners and tawdry romance novels. She wondered where her life was going until she followed the mysterious stranger through the red door and enters a world that few would ever know existed.

The Oubliette is a safe haven for all those creatures that go bump in the night. They cater to a very particular clientele and only those who seek it out may find the red door leading into a dark paradise of otherworldly delights. Together with her vampire hosts, André and Leo, Cali becomes a matchmaker for the undead and unwittingly gets herself into all sorts of mischief, all the while slipping into a decadent world where every sensual desire is fulfilled.

Includes the following STRANGE BEDFELLOWS stories: THREE TO TANGO, HIS PHANTOM CARESS, and DEAD SEXY. Get all three stories in one collection: BEHIND THE RED DOOR in ebook or print.
