Jean Roberta promised her parents that she wouldn't use their unusual family name when her first collection of lesbian stories, Secrets of the Invisible World, was published in 1988. Alas, the publisher went out of business soon afterward, but Jean responded to requests from readers who asked for f/f stories with more explicit sex.

Since 1999, over 60 of her erotic stories in various flavors (f/f, m/f, m/m, multiple-players) and genres have been published in print anthologies, websites and magazines.

List of works:

Obsession, Jean's collection of 14 erotic stories in various orientations and genres, all with a certain noir flavor, is currently available in e-form from Eternal Press. A print version is planned for summer 2008.

Jean's biker-syke story, “Wind, Rain and Fire,” in Hard Road, Easy Riding: Lesbian Biker Erotica, first published by the Haworth Press in December 2006, is due to be republished by Lethe Press in spring 2008.
