Writing career
Elizabeth Amber wrote this series of erotic historical paranormal romance novels based on her interest in Greco-Roman artifacts celebrating the grape harvest. Satyrs are the carnal followers of the wine god, Bacchus in ancient Roman mythology, and are depicted on many urns and amphorae found in Roman ruins.
In her novels, three half-satyr, half-human brothers own a lavish estate and vineyard in 19th century Tuscany, Italy, where they guard ancient secrets and conduct unusual rituals. When a letter arrives instructing them to seek out three endangered half-faerie brides, they see it as an opportunity to sire heirs. She wrote her first book, Nicholas, and then went to a Romance Writers of America conference to learn where to submit her book. Kensington bought the series. Nicholas has been critically acclaimed by many reviewers and has been mentioned in Publishers Weekly.
