Will Belegon is an award-winning author and poet who now calls the Appalachian mountains his home. He spent a few years honing his craft by writing and editing for his friends and peers the Literotica Authors' Hangout before his writing partner persuaded him to submit to a publisher.

The publisher not only purchased that piece, Switch went on to win Best Mainstream Short Story in the 2006 Preditors & Editors Readers' Poll. Will and Alessia's first print collaboration (ArtiFactual: Tales of the Erotique Mystique) was chosen as a Coffee Time Romance Book of the Month and was a Dream Realm Award finalist. Since that early success, Will has written and/or edited for Phaze Books, eXcessica, Coming Together, Charles River Press, and Venus Press.

He has been a finalist for EPIC's EPublishing Awards as one of the contributing poets to Phaze in Verse and recently, he and partner Alessia Brio won the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Award in Erotica for Squeeze Play. In addition to his collaborations with Alessia, he is the solo author of three Phaze HeatSheets (San Francisco Surrender, Barely a Secret, and En Garde) and is a busy member of its editing team. His solo poetry and fiction have appeared online at Oysters & Chocolate, Clean Sheets, and The Erotic Woman.

Will is also a freelance sportswriter, taekwondo enthusiast, and devoted father.
