Opal Carew
Opal Carew is the pseudonym of Elizabeth Batten-Carew and is a Canadian erotic romance novelist. She also writes science fiction under the name Amber Carew.
Biography
Carew was born as Elizabeth Batten in Toronto and was the youngest of five siblings.[1] She majored in math in college,[1] and then worked as a software developer before resigning shortly after the birth of her second child in the early 1990s to focus on writing.[2] After she began writing, she found that it was important to her to create erotic books that portray sex in a positive light.[1] She wants women to feel good about enjoying sexual feelings.[1]
Carew lives in Stittsville and has two children.[1][3]
Work
During the 1990s, Carew sold romantic short stories to magazines.[2] Her first book was published in 2004,[3] and her first large publishing deal was with St. Martin's Press in 2007.[1] She mainly publishes erotic work, but also writes science fiction under the pseudonym, Amber Carew.[1] Carew writes around three books a year and enjoys writing about women who are "unapologetically empowered by their sexuality."[4] Kirkus Reviews writes that "Carew is known for adding a compelling emotional dimension to erotica."[5] They wrote that her 2013 novel, Illicit, was "Not for the faint of heart."[5] His to Possess (2014) is a story that not only focuses on an eventual threesome but also has an interesting plot, according to Publishers Weekly.[6] In Stepbrother, Mine (2015), the plot deals with taboos relating to incest, but mostly focuses on romance.[7] Carew's 2017 book, A Fare to Remember is an erotic fantasy that includes graphic sex scenes.[8] Publishers Weekly found A Fare to Remember to be "an easy miss."[9]
