Constancehas always been an ardent bookworm and has had several interesting careers, she always wanted to be a writer though. Her dream came true several years ago when she sacrificed everything, to plunge herself full time into writing. She writes romance and romantic erotica under the name Constance Munday and pure erotica under the name Alcamia Payne.

Asked what her first love in writing is, she will always say hot romantic and passionate stories with an edge, but she also loves writing contemporary stories and historicals and is an avid science fiction and fantasy buff.

She hopes that her work will always be fresh and thought provoking and give the reader something to think about, as she says, `there’s nothing I won’t tackle and if I come up with a simple idea for a story whether it’s mainstream, gay, lesbian or fantasy - I’ll have a crack at it, even if it draws a bit of controversy. I like to be continually writing and trying out new ideas and I always favour writing a story with a strong and passionate romance as its basis and with strong characters who are a bit different and able to accept their faults and use them.’

She loves giving talks about books and magic, is an ardent lover of nature and cats and enjoys ballet, Victorian costume, collecting books and travelling. Pressed for longer stories she is currently working really hard on her third novel and a number of other projects and is delighted to be involved with the fabulous `Secret Library,’ collection.
