Alessia Brio is the sultry
erotica-writing alter ego of an Appalachian soccer mom. She is
"sensual, succulent, and satisfying" even when her creator
feels like a hairy warthog. Alessia's first sale, a single-author
anthology of erotic fiction & poetry entitled fine flickering hungers, won the 2007 EPPIE
Award for Best Erotica.
In addition to her
Phaze publications, Alessia's work appears at Tit-Elation, Oysters
& Chocolate, Ruthie's Club, and Literotica. She has won an
honorable mention in two of Desdmona's erotic writing contests:
Stiletto Flash and Titillating Tattoo. Her & Will Belegon's
Surge HeatSheet,
Switch, won the 2006 Preditors & Editors Readers' poll
for best short story. At Literotica, Alessia was nominated as Most
Influential Poet (2004) and Most Influential Writer (2005, 2006)
under the nickname "impressive."
Alessia's
altruistic personality makes her well-suited as editor of the
Coming
Together anthologies, collections of erotic fiction &
poetry that benefit various charities.
Ms. Brio lives in
the mountains near Pittsburgh and is barefoot as much as life
allows. She has an obsessive aversion to "to be" verbs in her prose
and gets aroused by creative enjambment in her poetry. Her fetishes
include SuDoku, rare steak, stainless steel, and office
supplies.
