About the Author
CJ Roberts is an indie author who favors dark, erotic stories with taboo twists. Her first novel, Captive in the Dark, was independently published in 2011 and is considered one of the pioneer dark romances of the indie author movement. Since then, it has been read and enjoyed by tens of thousands (and scorned by just as many).
CJ was featured in the 2020 documentary film “Naughty Books” by Austen Rachlis. The film explores the individual and collective journeys of the indie romance author explosion during its infancy.
She was born and raised in Southern California, is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, and will eat tacos until her back hurts.
