Natasha Wilde is an author who blends historical authenticity with unapologetic explorations of female desire and power. A former lecturer in literature and gender studies with a Master’s in Medieval Studies, she prowls the border between historical fiction and explicit erotica, transforming forgotten women’s histories into vivid, carnal narratives. Her work has been praised for its unflinching portrayal of pleasure as both vulnerability and weapon, often inspired by her fascination with how women across time used their sexuality to secure freedom in worlds designed to deny them.

Living between desert horizons and academic archives, Natasha draws inspiration both from the raw survivalism of her New Mexico ranch and from the ancient texts and ruins she studies on her travels. Whether she is practicing sword fighting, uncovering Norse sexual practices, or pausing mid-sentence to gaze out across the desert, her research and lived experience merge seamlessly into her writing. A self-described “sexual pragmatist,” she creates stories where power, pleasure, and primal desire collide. At home, she shares her space with her rescue cats, Bonnie and Clyde, while at the desk she continues to craft the kind of history most textbooks leave out: the raw, sweaty truth of how people loved, fought, and found themselves across time.
