Maya Reynolds dates the "real" start of her writing career from when she won the Romance Junkies contest of 2005. Three months later, she had her agent and, seven months after that, she sold her first novel to NAL, a division of Penguin. BAD GIRL is scheduled for release in September, 2007.
Maya writes erotic thrillers. Here's the copy from the back cover of BAD GIRL:
It was shy social worker Sandy Davis's favorite after-dark hobby, and only vice--spying on neighbors during their most uninhibited moments. Night after night, through each different window, into each anonymous dark bedroom came the stuff of Sandy 's wildest fantasies.
Peeping didn't hurt anyone. It was just a game. No one ever had to know. Then one night came a phone call...
"You've been a bad girl."
He calls himself Justice. He has a pastime too. Watching Sandy watch others. He has the pictures to prove it. Now it's his turn to play--by making Sandy pay the price in exchange for holding on to her naughty little secret. As the sensual dance between two strangers begins, so does Sandy 's fear that she's moving closer to the edge of extreme desire--and inescapable danger.
Maya lives in north Texas where she is working on her next erotic thriller for NAL. She writes a daily blog with helpful hints on the publishing industry for new and established writers. You can find her blog at
