Sydney Croft is the alter-ego of Larissa Ione and Stephanie Tyler, who came together to blend their very different writing interests into adventurous tales of erotic paranormal fiction. Though they love to write together as Sydney Croft, they also write individually.

In addition to the Sydney Croft books, Larissa Ione writes steamy contemporary romance for Red Sage and Samhain, and sexy, dark paranormal romance (the Demonica series) for Grand Central Publishing.  

Stephanie Tyler has long since given up trying to control her characters, especially the Navy SEAL alpha males, and today she writes military romance for both Harlequin Blaze and Bantam Dell. Her romantic suspense SEAL trilogy, beginning with HARD TO HOLD, will release in the last half of 2009.
