Tiffany Tingle

Tiffany Tingle never expected her career as a small-town book nerd to take such a steamy turn. After spending her days cataloging romance novels and her nights wondering what happened to all the good aliens, she decided to write the extraterrestrial love stories she desperately wanted to read. Armed with an overactive imagination, a collection of vintage sci-fi B-movies, and what her mother politely calls "too much curiosity about the universe," Tiffany crafts tales that are equal parts cosmic and carnal.

When she's not busy researching UFO sightings or perfecting her alien anatomy (for purely literary purposes, she insists), Tiffany can be found hiking the Ozark Mountains, collecting vintage lingerie "for inspiration," and maintaining an impressive collection of houseplants she's convinced are actually alien spies. She holds a self-awarded PhD in "What Would Happen If..." scenarios.

Her debut novella Abducted Love emerged from a particularly vivid dream after binge-watching Ancient Aliens and eating too much spicy Thai food. The success led to her upcoming releases Ashes & Embers and Dating the Were-Squatch, proving that Missouri's most unlikely romance author has officially launched into orbit.

Tiffany lives in a converted Victorian farmhouse outside Springfield with her three cats (Mulder, Scully, and Princess Leia), where she writes beneath a collection of glow-in-the-dark constellation stickers and maintains that the truth is definitely out there—and probably very attractive.

It was the summer of 1993, and I said No...

And that my friend is how the real life story went. I had my first job post-graduation working as a shipping clerk at the local factory in my small town. This long-haul trucker pulled into the dock and he flirted with me, offered to show me inside the truck. I worked around them, but had never gone and looked inside one. So, I figured why not. He showed me, and since it was just the two of us, he copped a feel of my ass. When he saw I was receptive,...

Hot Take: Ancient Aliens Is Actually a Rom-Com Filed under: Conspiracy

Listen, I know how this sounds. But hear me out.

I've spent the better part of three years studying Ancient Aliens and I've come to a startling conclusion: this show isn't actually about extraterrestrial contact. It's about the most epic, centuries-spanning long-distance relationship in human history.

Why Emotional Arcs Matter in Erotica

Here's the thing most writers get wrong about erotica: they think it's about the physical mechanics, but it's really about the emotional journey. Female readers (and honestly, most readers) don't just want to know what's happening - they want to feel WHY it's happening.

The difference between porn and erotica? Porn is about the mechanics. Erotica is about the feelings those mechanics create...

Greetings, inferior beings with the undeserved gift of opposable thumbs.

My human insisted I share my wisdom about "dating," which apparently is that bizarre ritual where you humans sniff each other inadequately and make poor territorial decisions. After observing her romantic failures from my perch atop the refrigerator, I've decided to enlighten you.
