One of the things that I wanted to try with this blog page was to interview relevant people. That is to say, people relevant to the BDSM lifestyle and maybe some writers.

This is my author page and blog. Here you can learn about, among other things, my book, Ignite35: My Life in the Sex Fetish Community.
