Alert me when new Delphyne DeRouge titles are added

Bio: The steamy side of the American Civil War calls to Delphyne DeRouge. "Stories of sexual antics behind the battle scenes need to be told!" she exclaims. "My Lord, those boys were a randy bunch. With all the pain and tragedy of that conflict, who can blame them for seeking their pleasure where and when they could find it?" Delphyne has committed herself to sharing the spicy underworld of war with her readers. Through her alter-ego, Madame Estelle—the madam of a Civil War-era brothel in Washington, D.C.—Delphyne delights in penning risqué tales of the temptresses who provided a lusty outlet for the soldiers in blue and gray. Steeped in historical detail, Delphyne's writing seduces the reader, compelling her audience to join her in the racy past. Her insight into the sexual world of the nineteenth century is legendary. "I know those boys firsthand," she says. "One of my past-lives was as a madam of a bawdy house, just like Estelle. I know the desires and passions of her Daughters of Pleasure because I lived them. Now, I delight in sharing their intrigues and intimacies with a new audience." Delphyne is an award-winning author of historical erotica. Her series of novellas about the Women of Maison d'Estelle is the latest entry in a distinguished literary life. Book One: Lacie is a Spring 2003 release from Amber Quill Press, to be followed by Book Two: Selia. More books in the series are also planned for future months. Ms. DeRouge loves to hear from her readers. Feel free to email her at: delphyne@maisondestelle.com and visit the amorous world of Maison d'Estelle at www.maisondestelle.com.
