Silvia Violet

Silvia Violet is an American author known for her contemporary M/M romance featuring bad-boy heroes and her forays into paranormal and science fiction romance under the pseudonym Silvia Onyx. Her works, including Pilot's Bargain and the Shifters' Station series, combine romance, adventure and steamy intimacy. Silvia's stories' strong emphasis on relatable characters and heartfelt connections captivate readers seeking both passion and emotional depth.

Silvia discovered her love of writing during high school and began to pursue it seriously in her mid-twenties. Her confidence grew as editors began requesting partial or complete manuscripts of her early work. Her first published story, Pilot's Bargain, is set on a space station run by genetically modified shape-shifting mercenaries and showcases her ability to blend romance with speculative fiction seamlessly. Silvia writes primarily as a painter, creating her first drafts with minimal planning and refining her stories through detailed content editing and feedback from beta readers.

Silvia's writing spans several romance sub-genres, including contemporary tales of businessmen, law enforcement officers, everyday heroes, and paranormal adventures involving shapeshifters and vampires. She describes her style as a blend of "strong, believable characters, true romance and a heaping helping of hot sex". She ensures all her stories end with a happily ever after, a hallmark of her work.

When not writing, Silvia enjoys baking, crocheting, organising with her collection of planners, and spending time with her family and dog, Arlo. Her Chihuahua-dachshund mix often accompanies her during writing sessions, providing quiet companionship.

Silvia Violet has also been known to frequent coffee shops, fueling her creativity with solid coffee and surprising patrons who mistakenly assume she writes children's books.
