We all have fantasies. Some of us have dark fantasies. Devan wrote hers down and published them online, never guessing one man would trace them back to her, then transgress all boundaries to make them come true. When she escapes, she thinks she has found safety with Vaughn, a gentle but volatile man haunted by his own dark past. But when Conrad tracks them down, Devan may have more to fear than ever before.
THE APOCALYPSE: A chimera devastates the human population. Technology fails and infrastructure crumbles. Civilization collapses.
AFTER: A generation apart, two women and the men who love them make incredible sacrifices to survive, and to destroy a brutal system of sexual slavery in a world where men outnumber women ten-to-one.
After two years roaming the devastated South alone, eighteen-year-old Eva is captured and held prisoner by the few surviving soldiers at a military base, who haven’t seen a woman since The Dying. In Eva, Major Smith sees only the future of the human race, and he’ll exceed all moral boundaries to ensure she gives birth to the next generation. But Eva and John—the man she is paired with—are determined to fight for freedom and a better future.
Willful Vanka thinks she is dying. Galen, a famous actor, feels his life has become a superficial mirage. And beautiful Khalid can only love people who hurt him. When these three find themselves caught up in each other’s lives, will their risky games of domination and submission destroy them? Or will they find solace from a lifetime of hurt?
Long ago and far away, Lord Melchior ruled over his lands and his serfs with an iron hand. Taken from their homes at the cusp of adolescence and brought up in strict segregation, the boys and girls of his realm learned total obedience and rigid chastity. But when naïve Zaccheus and Rasha were chosen to serve their master in his castle, they soon discovered that one of Lord Melchior’s greatest pleasures was forcing his innocent young servants to violate the very laws he himself has imposed on them all their lives.
When a typhoon destroys their boat, three scientists are stranded on an unpopulated island off the coast of Madagascar. As months, then years pass, will they transgress every taboo of the civilized society they left behind?
Paul calls the shots. His friends know it. His son knows it. And his women know it—all of them, except Lena. With the return of the delicate Russian waif he’d used up and cast off years before, Paul’s control and his sanity begin slipping away. Even when friends start to disappear and die, Paul can’t possibly imagine the dark power the wraith Lena wields, or the horrifying revenge she has in store for him.

Growing up near Los Angeles, I spent much of my time frolicking in the Pacific Ocean and penning angst-twisted poetry. Now I’m living in sunny Spain writing pathos-riddled fiction.
I’ve always been drawn to the music and substance of words, always loved writing in well-worn notebooks by hand, tapping at the keys of the computer, and, conjuring up stories.
And from my earliest memories, I’ve always been fascinated by—maybe obsessed with?—sex and sexuality. In my writing, I poke at social issues, but more than anything, I dig into the psyches of my characters. Sex is the medium, the expression, and the tool of discovery for their insecurities, the needs that drive them, the comfort they can’t live without, the joy and relish of life that makes each of them so intense, strange, and alluring to me, and I hope to my readers.
Like most writers, I love hearing what you think of the stories I’ve written. All honest feedback is truly appreciated.
