R. Phoenix has an unhealthy fascination with contrasts: light and dark, heroes and villains, order and chaos. She believes that love can corrupt and power can redeem. Her muse is a sadomasochistic slave driver who thinks it's terribly amusing to give her the best ideas when she just got comfortable and warm in bed, and she passes on that torture to her readers. She also tries entirely too hard to be funny, and she mercilessly inflicts her terrible sense of humor upon anyone who speaks to her. She'd love it if you'd say hello! ...more

R.’s Recent Updates

R. Phoenix answered Isie Poff's question: I read the Gilded Cages series in literally 2 days. The Master/slave dynamic is written beautifully, especially in book 2. You’ve said that you don’t think another book is in store for this trio, but I was wondering if you changed your mind. Maybe? Please? It was spectacular and I would love to see how Zay evolves in his new role. Thank you for being an author! So I have no idea if Goodreads will alert you that I've answered this -- because I never received an alert that you'd asked (thanks, GR), but for anyone else who might be wondering! I commissioned a cover for a book three late last year (Open Cages), See Full Answer

R. Phoenix answered Fran Rosey's question: I was wondering when will more books come out that follow Becoming A Lady as I'm fixing to reread it and would love to see the rest of their story and hea? Wow, thanks Goodreads for telling me about this question... 48 days later?? Anyway, it's on the agenda, but I keep freezing up on it. I'm really, really hoping to get to it this year (finally) but I've been saying that for a while. :-(

R.’s Quotes

“The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“I could have traveled quickly. But all men have the same ultimate destination. Whether we find our end in a hallowed sepulcher or a pauper’s ditch, all save the Heralds themselves must dine with the Nightwatcher. “‘And so, does the destination matter? Or is it the path we take? I declare that no accomplishment has substance nearly as great as the road used to achieve it. We are not creatures of destinations. It is the journey that shapes us. Our callused feet, our backs strong from carrying the weight of our travels, our eyes open with the fresh delight of experiences lived. “‘In the end, I must proclaim that no good can be achieved of false means. For the substance of our existence is not in the achievement, but in the method.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings

“Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.”

“I know people think erotica is just a romance novel with rougher sex. It's not. If it's a subgenre of anything, it's horror.

Horror? Really?

Romance is sex plus love. Erotica is sex plus fear.”
― Tiffany Reisz, The Siren

“A love story is not the same as a romance novel. A romance novel is the story of two people falling in love against their will. This is a story of two people who leave each other against their will. It starts to end the minute they meet.”
― Tiffany Reisz, The Siren
