About the Instructor:

Sascha Illyvich writes from the shadows. Dubbed The Gentleman Playboy of Romance by the industry, he has spent over two decades carving a name into the flesh of genre fiction, blending raw sensuality with haunting emotional depth. His work has earned accolades from Night Owl Romance and Road to Romance, and a CAPA nomination from The Romance Studio. His novel Torn to Pieces was named a USA TODAY Recommended Read—a testament to his ability to weave devastation and desire into something unforgettable.

Beyond the page, Sascha is a commanding presence—trained, articulate, and unflinching when speaking on the craft of writing and the provocative edges of erotic romance. A former host of The Unnamed Romance Show on Radio Dentata, his voice has echoed across airwaves and podcasts alike, dragging truth into the light from behind the veil.

He lives nowhere you can find on a map. When he isn’t chasing the ghost of a story, he’s perched in the haze of a cigar lounge, a romance novel in one hand, market charts in the other—always reading, always watching, always just out of reach.
