I've been writing since I was sixteen and only as I got older did my writing become more sexually explicit. But it has also expanded into the paranormal, historical, surreal.

Dying in Pleasure has erotic scenes between men and women, women and women, men and men; between slaves and masters, whores and noblewomen, gladiators and everyone. In my works, everyone has sex, in any possible way and orientation. I don't write to shock.

Writing with Bipolar Disorder

I'm quite medicated. I don't have the massive, supernova bursts of creativity that I had had in high school and college. I get normal sleep so I can't stay up all night working. What I used to call "inspiration" which got me through 200 pages a month doesn't exist anymore. Yet I struggle still to focus.

“Fuck the original.”
Lady Ristretto

“Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terror, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them.”
Anais Nin

“Fuck the original.”
Lady Ristretto

“Life demands nothing from us
Except,

It is the ultimate act of humility.
It is the ultimate act of final humanity.”
Stark Hunter

Woody Allen, Hannah and Her Sisters
