Mouth-watering in more ways than one: have your wine, your favorite dessert, and any other fun items you'd like at your near disposal as you traverse this landscape of mental man-candy, scrumptious food, and sizzzzzling sparks.
A South African-born animal rights supporter with a poet's heart, Sabel Simmons has established herself as a writer of unapologetic, steamy billionaire romance. She is also known as bestselling fiction author Linzi Basset, under which name she writes suspense-filled dark romance.
Impressively prolific, she has published over a hundred books across her various pen names: Isabel James, Kimila Taylor, Shiloh Dean, Linzi Basset, and Sabel Simmons.
"I write from the inside out," she explains. "My stories are both inside me and a part of me, so it can be either pleasurable to release them or painful to carve them out. I live every moment of every story I write. For readers seeking narratives that blend spice with suspense, I offer precisely that experience—it's the essence of what I create as an author."
Sabel believes authentic storytelling allows her to share her essence, passionate nature, motivations, and wildest fantasies with readers. She experiences every emotion as she writes—each touch, kiss, and harsh word—which fuels her enduring love for writing.
At their core, all Sabel Simmons books explore passion as the fundamental driver of human emotion—whether lust, desire, hate, trust, or love. Her advice resonates with this philosophy: "Believe in the passions driving your desires; live them; enjoy them; and allow them to bring you happiness."
