The images are collages of the first 24 covers for the 1935 serial novel Secrets of the Velvet Trap. I paint each chapter cover in Procreate on an Apple iPad.

Secrets of the Velvet Trap

Throughout 2024-2025, I'm publishing the serial novel Secrets of the Velvet Trap, a psychological drama set in 1935, within the milieu of an underground fetish club and psychoanalysis. The story publishes weekly through Tantalizing Tales and the list of currently available chapters is Here.

Secrets of the Velvet Trap is a Depression-era, slow-burn psychological drama about the turbulent relationship between Dr. Eleanor Wentworth, a radical psychoanalyst, and her patient, Edith “Eddie” Langley, a young reporter. With her compulsion for broken women, Eleanor finds herself inexorably drawn in by Eddie’s wounded sexuality, and their professional relationship evolves into a passionate affair.

Writing

Most of my writing is lesbian fiction immersed in moral ambiguity, dark eroticism, transgression, and power dynamics. I prefer to write series, and you can find those series in my LISTS.

No matter what genre I write, there's always lesbian power dynamics. If that's your niche, you're going to love it here. Historical, fantasy, sf/horror that may include violence, bad language, great sex, and whiskey. Some stories also contain fetish, restraint, violence, or even gore.

Nonfiction in memoir, health & fitness, family, and my writing process.

Illustration

I paint most of the covers for my stories. I'm a digital painter using Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, and Adobe Photoshop. I use an iPad Pro for creating and a desktop computer for edits. I often write about my process on my art posts.
