Dark Romance Manifesto
There's nothing in this world so sweet as love. And next to love the sweetest thing is hate.---Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I'm fixated on telling unconventional love stories. My fiction explores the fascinating dynamics between love and hate, dominance and submission. Therefore I don't write traditional love stories.
I write dark, erotic, romance fiction about love.
I don't write mainstream. My tales dictate themselves without thought to categorization. I span gothic, dark romance, paranormal, dark fantasy, erotica, BDSM, and horror---often within the same story.
I don't provide easy reads. I want to challenge, question, and push. I use my fiction to sift through the curiosities plaguing my mind. I fervently seek the beauty in the midst of ugliness. I see beauty in pain...suffering...uniqueness. I see ugliness in bliss...joy...perfection.
I play with vampires, demigods, saints, sinners, and monsters. I mix love, hate, sex, and violence in equal measure. I craft endings with hope.
I let my work speak for me. What it says is up to you. Please feel free to read the Samples, rummage the Book List, and read my Blog to see if my world is one you'd like to visit.

About Me
I am a writer who craves to create literary experiences that makes you question your beliefs. I want to push you out of your safety zone. I want you to walk away from reading my fiction and feel, "I am that person," no matter how ugly or scary the character may be. Why? Because that's what I want to experience as a reader of my work.
