Author April Alisa Marquette has penned more than a dozen works of fascinating fiction. Her novels have been called intense, steamy, gripping, and all-night-reads.     She also writes non-fiction, and has written a weekly online column on Ethnic Beauty. Once a successful tutor for young people whom others had given up on, she also loved the Creative Writing and Literature electives offered in college. If you want to laugh out loud; if you want to shed a tear, perhaps in the very next minute, then April is your author! Committed to the craft of writing, her emotionally jolting, sometimes erotic, but ever intriguing adult fiction will enthrall you. Said another author: "Ms. Marquette spins magic with her words..."Hers are beautifully detailed sagas, depicting smart and sexy heroines and those who either love or hate them.
