I’ve always been a little too fascinated with villains and fucked up relationships—though, thankfully, only the fictional kind. Even as a child, my favorite fairytale character was the Big Bad Wolf.

It was only a matter of time before my love of villains and twisted relationships cross-pollinated with my love of fantasy, horror, and gothic fiction. I’ve been carrying all kinds of twisted little stories in my head for decades, which I’m finally starting to transcribe.

I delight in strong writing craft, complex morally gray characters, and compelling fantasy worlds, but my primary goal as an author is to create deeply satisfying guilty pleasures that don’t hold back on the dark eroticism, even at the cost of censorship.

If you love fantasy and paranormal gothic fiction, crave stories about twisted entanglements beyond dark romance, and have always been morbidly curious about what would happen if the villain actually got to have his way with the damsel (without the guardrails of romance), you’re in the right place.
