In 2015, we decided to focus solely on Satin Smoke Press, our imprint for fantasy author, Dianna Hardy, and this had been our focus ever since. We have a

This is the kind of read where you hold your breath all the way through, then find yourself smiling at the end.
It was a cold, dreary December in the East End of London…

Despite having a dreamy disposition, I was (am) also somewhat cursed with being a realist which made it painfully obvious from quite early on that...

Bitten Fruit Books was born in September, 2010, and has always been a personal venture, exploring creativity from the heart. We believe in Uncensored Expression for Soul Growth. We support the holistic business model and consistently seek ways to expand without limiting ourselves within the confines of "money for business survival".
AS A PUBLISHER
Bitten Fruit Books explores the darker (or less acceptable) side of life and love through stories, and believes that doing so can heal wounds and bridge gaps. Our books touch on an array of unconventional relationships and societal taboos. We don't shy away from uncomfortable topics, but we do wrap them up in a coat of supernatural fantasy - starring witches, demons, angels, werewolves and more - which makes the dark a little easier to traverse. We have two imprints: Satin Smoke Press (the dark fantasy and romance of Dianna Hardy) and Between Fire & Ice (Mind, Body, Spirit titles, workshops and courses, including private publications).
We’d like to thank everyone on this page for their support since our inception, and as we continue to change, grow, and adapt in line with the needs of the creation.
