Making Love from Payne... because, sometimes...Love Hurts. "Maria-Claire Payne" is my alter-ego who writes erotic romance. I especially enjoy writing stories that are a mash-up of genres, and I refuse to stay put in any one genre! Where's the fun in that? That other Claire? Well, she holds multiple professional credentials related to the field of radiation oncology and a graduate degree in psychology. Both personalities share a love of taking classes in English literature and reading in many genres as well as getting inked and admiring biker dudes from afar. When no new reading material is readily at hand for whatever reason, my children have caught me reading cereal box-tops to fill the void. I live in Southern Florida with my two rather conservative (how did that happen?) teenagers, the ghost of my soul-mate (my muse), and a crew of Himalayan and Persian cats affectionately referred to as the “Pussy Posse.” Drop on by and chat here at my table in the Coffee Corner and drop me a line at my website --I'd love to hear from you!
