I started writing by accident, and before you know it I had a book, or almost all of a book. I competed it, cleaned it up, and sent it in, and while it was praised, it was rejected. The praise was enough for me to continue, however, and eventually get published by a 'mainstream' publisher. Along the way, however, I responded to an ad, and started writing books for a New York based publisher of adult material. He'd tell the the subjects, and sometimes even mail me drawings to write scenes by, and I'd send him back the finished product. I went on to write short stories for a variety of mens magazines, including Penthouse. When most U.S. publishers stopped printing new material I looked abroad and found a number of U.K publishers still in business. There tended to be a similarity of subjects they wanted, however. Mainly (almost entirely) bondage, BDSM, and S&M. I wrote books for and was published in print by Olympia, Chimera, Nexus, and Silver Moon and others.

Some have commented how certain of my books are darker, harsher, or even nastier than others. It is true, my older works, written for certain publishers, tend to be rather different than my newer books. If you prefer a softer approach, look for books dated after 2011.

I live alone, at the moment, in a nice little house with a large, and developing garden and pond, and work for a large corporation in which I try to stay as anonymous as possible.
