Imagine a John Hughes movie rated X in this new wave erotic romance from cheek! Dori is the owner of a lonely heart. On a whim, she returns to her hometown to discover to her chagrin that her favorite movie theater has been turned into a bookstore. Nostalgic, she wanders in for a look around, pining for the good old days of the 1980s. But then something inexplicable happens—by the time Dori is back outside in the alleyway, she realizes she has also gone back in time, to 1983! Now an adult, no longer a carefree teenager, she ends up working in the beauty supply shop where she once labored as a teen for pocket money, and the place she felt the happiest in her life. And this time, she’s free to immerse herself in the adult world of the town—the parties, the nightlife, the men. She even ends up dating a young teacher from the local high school—her high school—another interloper from the wrong time, but someone also determined to save the theater from being sold.
Called a trollop with a laptop by East Bay Express, Alison Tyler is naughty and she knows it.
Over the past 20 years, Ms. Tyler has written more than 25 explicit novels, including Learning to Love It, Strictly Confidential, Sweet Thing, Sticky Fingers, and Something About Workmen (all published by Black Lace), as well as Rumors, Tiffany Twisted, and Melt With You (Cheek). Her novels and short stories have been translated into Japanese, Dutch, German, Italian, Norwegian, and Spanish. Her stories have appeared in more than 100 anthologies.
When not writing saucy short stories, Ms. Tyler edits erotic anthologies. She's recently completed her 50th collection, Alison's Wonderland (Harlequin, 2010). Her best-selling titles include Naughty Fairy Tales from A to Z (Plume), Naked Erotica (Pretty Things Press), and Best Bondage Erotica (Cleis Press).
Ms. Tyler is loyal to coffee (black), lipstick (red), and tequila (straight). She has tattoos, but no piercings; a wicked tongue, but a quick smile; and bittersweet memories, but no regrets. She believes it won't rain if she doesn't bring an umbrella, prefers hot and dry to cold and wet, and loves to spout her favorite motto: You can sleep when you're dead. She chooses Led Zeppelin over the Beatles, the Cure over NIN, and the Stones over everyone. Yet although she appreciates good rock, she has a pitiful weakness for 80s hair bands.
In all things important, she remains faithful to her partner of 15 years, but she still can't choose just one perfume.
