Connie Wilkins (who often uses the pseudonym Sacchi Green) is an American author of lesbian themed science fiction and fantasy erotica published under the title Wild Flesh.[1] Wilkins is based in Massachusetts.[2]
Personal life
editConnie Wilkins' father served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. He wanted to be a pilot, but due to inner ear damage resulting from a childhood infection he was unqualified for the position.[3] In the late 1960s Connie was married to a man in the Navy with whom she had a child. After a six-month patrol in the Antarctic, he was stationed in San Francisco on instructor duty until he was discharged. Connie was inclined to join the anti-war protests that occurred by the time he was discharged from the service.[4]
Career
editConnie Wilkins first qualified as an active member of the SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) selling various science fiction and fantasy short stories. Writing primarily for children, she decided to use the pseudonym Sacchi Green when selling her first erotica story to Best Lesbian Erotica in 1999.[5] Her primary goal was to write stories primarily for children, however, she soon found herself almost completely focused on writing erotic stories as Sacchi Green.[6] After years of writing her own stories and collecting submissions from other authors, she decided to focus more on editorial work, which remains her focus to this day.[7]
