Welcome to the website of Janine Ashbless. I'm a writer of fantasy and paranormal erotica and - more rarely - scorching romantic adventure. I like to write about magic and myth and mystery, dangerous power dynamics, borderline terror, and the not-quite-human. And hot filthy sex, obviously...

An anthology of post-apocalyptic erotica
Romance Novel: third in the Book of the Watchers trilogy
Rights to
Named and Shamed and
Fierce Enchantments have reverted with the closing of Sweetmeats Press - both have now been re-published with lovely new covers by Sinful Press.
I have begun self-publishing reverted works with my Ashbless "brand" covers. Erotica is released with red covers, Erotic Romance with blue, as above.
To my absolute delight I am immortalised on the "Islands of Erotica" in the
Map of Literature by artist
Martin Vargic. You should so buy this awesome best-seller of a
book!

Hairy Christmas!
Angelic blessings! This year a dear friend sent me the best Christmas tree ornament EVER. It's supposed to be a fluffy angel, she swears.
I think it looks like a hairy vulva and that's how it's always going to be in my mind. 😂😂😂
So here's wishing everyone Happy Holidays and a very Hairy Muffmas - may you find peace and renewal in the darkest days of a dark year, and look to the coming of the light!
