New York Times Bestselling contemporary romance and suspense author Alessandra Torre is a leading name in the world of self and traditional publishing. In 2012, a 28-year old Torre self-published her first novel, Blindfolded Innocence, an erotic romance which quickly grew in popularity, landing at #1 in Erotica and remaining there for over two weeks. In less than three months, she was earning five figures monthly as a self-published author (and today spends much of her time evangelizing the benefits of self-publishing). This success attracted the interest of literary agent Maura Kye-Casella and major publishing houses. Today, Torre has published fourteen novels, become an international bestselling author, has had numerous six-figure publishing contracts, and has attracted Hollywood interest in her erotic thriller The Girl in 6E, and her contemporary romance Hollywood Dirt. She is an executive producer of both films, one of which is in production now. Her books have been published in seven languages and over twenty countries. She is also the Bedroom Blogger for Cosmopolitan.com. From her home on the warm waters of the Emerald Coast in Florida, Alessandra now devotes several hours each day to new book projects and interacting with her fans on social media. Torre is a business administration and hospitality graduate of Florida State University. Alessandra Torre is represented by Maura Kye-Casella of Don Congdon & Associates.
