She lives in North Carolina and recently received her Masters Degree in Library Science. She’s served as an Instructor at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC where she taught “Writing the Romance Novel” for two years.
As T. Onyx, AlTonya released her third erotica title “Pleasure’s Powerhouse” in 2011.  Her latest Harlequin/Kimani title is “Texas Love Song” first in the Lone Star Seduction Series to release in June 2012. The title will be followed up by the second book in the series “His Texas Touch” in July.
2012 will also mark the release of the fourteenth title in her popular Ramsey/Tesano Saga “A Lover’s Sin.”
 What's your inspiration for your great books?

 So many things inspire my writing. I gather inspiration from a host of sources including the movies I absorb, to the books I can’t get enough of. I can never pin point just one place to credit with the inspiration for my next story but those are a couple of starting places.

What do you like to observe in books that you read?
 I really pay attention to dialogue and the author’s word selection. The authors that most intrigue me are the ones who can say virtually the same thing in a seemingly endless variety of ways. I also love those stories that allow me to really see the setting and even the characters based on how vividly the author utilizes his or her talents for narration/description.
If you could meet any of your own characters, who would it be?
Of course I’d love to meet Quest and Michaela Ramsey but I think I’d really like to spend some time with Zephir and Phaedra Mfume from Wild Ravens.

Tell us about your latest project(s).
Right now, I’m at work plotting the next Ramsey title A Lover’s Debt. Most of my focus however is in putting the finishing touches on my next T. Onyx erotica the sequel to Ruler of Perfection.
