Hello

We are Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, sisters and best selling co-authors of all things dark romance - fantasy and contemporary, M/F and RHs, there’s something for everyone, as long as you love characters who will break your heart, stomp on it and laugh over the pieces before putting them all back together in the end.

Our Story

We live in the South East of England, kinda near London but far enough out to be able to look at fields all wistfully and shit if the mood takes us. We work together from our countryside office through the week, writing down most of the madness that exists in our heads on paper, so that you can come and escape to our imaginary worlds for a little bit too. We don’t shy away from twisted cliffhangers, and love an Alpha asshole, but our leading women are of the badass, take no shit lying down variety, so it’s always a rollercoaster of a ride. We can’t wait for you to buckle up with us!

What do we do?

We write a range of Romance genres from Contemporary to Paranormal Romance, Reverse Harem (which means the female lead has several love interests but never has to choose between them) as well as straight M/F (boy meets girl, boy is a dick to girl, girl swears never to so much as look at him, boy and girl end up getting together after more angst than you can shake a stick at). 

We don’t shy away from dark themes and love an alpha asshole, but our girls are always of the badass, take no shit lying down variety so it’s always a rollercoaster of a ride.

Are you into stalking?

​If you wanna come hunt me down, I’m always hanging out in our Facebook group where thousands of like minded book whores – I mean readers – have come together to talk all things fictional. We have loads of content and updates on upcoming books as well as running giveaways and having pop ins from other great authors, plus me and Caroline are always there so you can ask us anything you like and we will either give you an answer or refuse to in a way that will hopefully make you laugh rather than wanna stab us 😳

WHO THE HELL AM I?

I am Susanne Valenti and I write all kinds of Romance with my sister and co-author Caroline Peckham and you’ve just looked at a bunch of pictures of our faces 🖤 

I live in England with the Queen and the red buses and all that jazz. We’re down in the south east, kinda near London but far enough out to be able to look at fields all wistfully and shit if the mood takes me. 

I’m married to a dude I met when I was 17 who seemed like a keeper so I held on tight. We have two gorgeous kiddies, a girl and a boy who are in that mental toddler stage so that keeps me busy a lot with jumping in muddy puddles and cutting and sticking and roll playing as a monster (why do I always have to be the t-rex?? But also, why do I always volunteer for the roll? 🤔) 

I like to run (alright, like is a bit strong, but I do get my ass out of the house and run while pushing a running buggy with a little boy on board who likes to shout at me to go faster because Daddy is getting away – rude, right?)

My parents are the best, they are super supportive with all of this writing madness me and Caroline have embarked upon and also dive in five hundred percent when my kids demand fairy hunts in the garden, an imaginary tea party or even a millionth rendition of Old McDonald Had A Farm and it’s thanks to them that I get the time to get any writing done at all 💖

I’ve got two cats who are always up to something and a few fish in a tank who seem to be living their best lives…and I think I’m out of interesting facts there….

​

HOW DID I START WRITING?

I started writing so long ago that I can’t even remember it, jotting down ideas or drawing picture books as a kid and then starting and not completing several stories throughout my teen years. But in 2015 Caroline and I got to talking about trying to make something real out of those pipe dreams of us becoming authors and we got our first solo project manuscripts written up and published on Amazon. Eventually, after publishing several of our own series we decided to use the power of the sister twin brain to co-write and we haven’t looked back since!

Caroline Peckham

WHO AM I?

I’m an English girl with a love for chocolate and the gym to cancel out my chocolate addiction. It’s a vicious circle but who wouldn’t do anything for chocolate? Especially chocolate raisins mmm….I’ve gotten distracted. So what else is vaguely interesting about me?
Well, I have a squishy black Labrador rescue dog called Sirius – yup, after THE Sirius Black. He’s a total coward and jumps at his own shadow, but that’s okay because he came to England on a truck all the way from Romania so he’s forgiven. He likes to wake me up by dive-bombing me in the morning and we play zoomies around my room when I eventually roll out of bed. In a dream world I’m a morning person, but in reality I snooze every alarm and roll up to my parents’ house to work sometimes around nine. That’s cool though, Susanne’s up at the buttcrack of dawn so I’m just balancing us out by being a sleepy bitch. Someone’s gotta do it, right?
When I’m not writing – which is alllllll the time as I am sliiiiightly obsessed with it – I like to head off on trips to far-away places and have real life adventures. So far, I’ve camped my way across America from L.A. to New York along Route 66, sky-dived (SO good especially when you’re on the lap of a super hot guy) and bungee jumped in Thailand (note to self: do NOT bungee jump again and definitely don’t pay for someone to record you nearly pissing yourself while you head up a crane to do it), I’ve trekked a part of the Great Wall of China, lived in the beautiful rainforest in Costa Rica for six months and travelled around Australia from beaches to the outback. 
Life has been crazy since me and my sister teamed up to co-author books and I have to say the hugest, most massive of thank yous to all the readers of our books plus our amazing mum and dad who have supported us and cheered us on through the highs and lows. It’s been one helluva journey and I have so much love to everyone who has given our books a chance! 

​

HOW DID I BEGIN WRITING?

Many moons again back in 2014 I had the idea to write a book. Funnily enough, so did Susanne! We both self-published separately through Amazon and waited for fame to come knocking. Oh, but then I sold like two books so that idea quickly went to shit. But theeeeen after several years of learning how to market books and writing a bunch more books, I finally started to sell some – yay!

Flash forward to Christmas 2019 and Susanne and I decided to team up and write a series of books together. We’ve never looked back. Best. Decision. Ever. We throw ideas off each other, have so much fun making each other laugh with the most ridiculous scenes we can come up with or make each other cry with the heartfelt scenes too. Every book we write is a combination of crazy conversations and long hours spent planning out every detail. I’m so lucky to have her and it’s amazing to be able to share my love of writing with my bestie and big sis.

Be sure to go and check out her socials @SusanneValenti and if you wanna hang out with us we’re always in our reader group on Facebook here sharing book updates, having fun chats, answering your burning questions and hosting giveaways. See you there!
