Sex and Joy
I was born in 1990, but remember my childhood only in flashes of embarrassment or celebration, the stuff in the middle is all gone. Writing, art, photography are my defense mechanisms against the loss of memory.
​
I spent my early years drawing, reading, writing, and dreaming about romance and adventures. Even before I understood the preserving power stories have, I was unconsciously drawn to them. I wanted to understand how they worked, the magic they seemed to possess. I studied literature, philosophy, and history at university in order to better understand the stories human beings have been telling each other for generations. Still baffled after my years at school, I started to blindly write my own, trusting my instinct rather than my intellect.
I have told all sorts of stories, working over a variety of genres, but my deepest love is erotica. As a teenager, I stumbled on a lovely piece of smut, and ever since then, I've been hooked. My erotic stories work to peer under the surface of regular life to find the illicit desires and unusual kinks hidden there.
I write bisexual, polyamorous erotica, because that is the kind of world I would like to live in. However, still living in the real world, where I teach high school literature and writing, I rely on my erotic stories to transport me to the paradise of my fantasies. I hope you'll join me.
