The Story Behind Plumas


Oh boy, I’m getting emotional writing this—re-writing it, I mean.
Okay, let’s start with the facts: Plumas is a kink club in a small-ish town north of Spain. It’s a kink haven, and it’s a queer haven, too.
In short, it’s the community I wish I’d had access to. It is, however, inspired by the communities I was and am a part of.
It’s a place full of kinks and dynamics that have nuances and are carried out following PRICK guidelines.
It’s a place where no binary is left unchallenged, where no character really believes in falling into the traps of compulsory monogamy.
(Yes, there is a lot of sharing, and group play, and more).
Plumas is about queer characters that probably don’t fit anywhere else, but they fit in Plumas, and they thrive there.
It’s chaotic, too, but it’s chaotic in the way some of the best families out there are.
It’s realistic kink, and it’s unapologetic queerness.

What to expect from gay romance


I always struggle to label my technically MM+ titles. I don’t think they fit in with the general idea behind MM+. Achillean would probably fit best, but I don’t know that it’s as widely understood. In the end, I mostly stick to calling them gay books, but gay can feel… icky sometimes too. Even when my characters end up in relationships with another man, they’re still queer. They still explore and challenge notions of toxic masculinity, heteronormativity, and everything else that comes from trying to live as a man. Or to try and navigate “masculine” spaces as a trans-masc or non-binary person.
But anyway.
If you’re looking for books with men falling in love with each other and discover a few new kinks, you should try the titles above.

What to expect from sapphic romance


Sapphic romance are the books I write out of spite. The ones that challenge the idea that women loving women can’t be spicy, or erotic, or keep people’s interest. They’re the books I write when I’m working through my own sapphic struggles, too.
Sure, I explore my sexuality, and my gender, regardless of who I’m writing about, but there’s something about writing sapphic that just hits different.

Right now, I’m kind of engrossed in all things Plumas. What that means, is that most if not all of the side characters you might have felt curious about, are getting their books.
The best way to know for sure, though, is to follow me everywhere. You’ll get early access and exclusive content to a million things, too, so I say it’s worth it!
