Elf Sternberg

You could also be talking about the "Mida" series. She only writes trashy romances in fantasy settings. Of her books, the most readable are ones she wrote in the late 80's (she's been around since the late 70's). Hidden Realms is the only title I can recall (from a series of ~4 books). She also wrote a duology ("The Far Side of Forever" and "Hellhound Magic") which was barely readable. However, her most recent stuff, (the "Blending" and "Blending Enthroned" series), has _such_ bad characterization, and _such_ bad dialogue, that it's like a root canal without anaesthesia. I remember enjoying The Far Side of Forever -- even after realizing that it was a trashy romance novel. Not so anymore, her writing style has gotten much worse.

Most amusingly, I've seen her Warrior books at the thrice-yearly Fetish Flea in San Francisco -- but have not seen the Gor books there.
