About Adriana Herrera
Adriana Herrera was a Dominican writer and social worker.
Adriana Herrera is an author of romantic fiction and erotica. She was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and now resides in New York City.
Herrera's novels overturn conventions of the historical romance genre, such as heterosexuality; for example she has written about openly lesbian relationships in Paris during the 1889 Exposition Universelle.
She was inspired to write because of a lack of romance books with Dominican, Latina, and queer characters. Herrera writes "unapologetically happy endings" to her stories.
A story by Herrera was collected in Best Women's Erotica of the Year by Simon & Schuster in 2021.
