Yes, we are a real life married couple. And as Mr Black likes to say, we're obsessed with books and each other.

Before Mr. and Mrs. Black became co-authors of the V series, they were award-winning writers inside New York's worlds of publishing and advertising. Before they became husband and wife, they were long-distance lovers - he in London, she in New York.

For two years, they sent stories back and forth across an ocean, writing characters that made each other feel a little less alone. Then one day, the future Mrs. Black sent something different: the beginning of a darker, more intoxicating world than either of them had written before.

That world became Portrait of a Dangerous Woman - Book One in the V series.

Mr. and Mrs. Black now live and love in New York, where they are happily married on the outside and relentlessly workshopping luxurious noir romance on the inside.
