I’m a writer and teacher, and I lead workshops about using identity and power as tools for liberation. Through fields like feminism, queerness, trans & nonbinary genders, BDSM & kink, the transformative power of creative expression, and a variety of spiritual practices, I study myself and the places where I interact with the world.
I run ecourses online regularly through D/s Playground, and teach workshops in person at colleges, community centers, and sex toy stores. I also read my work aloud at poetry readings and in bookstores sometimes.
I’ve edited a few anthologies, including Erotix: Literary Journal of Somatics, Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica, and multiple editions of the Best Lesbian Erotica series by Cleis press. My short story collection Sweet & Rough was published by Maverick Press in 2015 and was a finalist for the Lesbian Erotica Lambda Literary Award. More about my books here.
After years of studying erotic embodiment, I’m part of a collaborative that founded Body Trust in 2014 with the mission to do more radically inclusive erotic embodiment work.

You are a great writer x
I just found this website and already it has changed my life.
I found your site and I'm pretty sure I want to marry you. Thanks for having this space out there. Can I have the password, since I am a pretty femme who is terribly intrigued by your writing?
I have spent several hours over the past few days reading your posts. I must say they are incredible. I am a butch feminist and find your gender writings very interesting but who are we kidding, I have really become addicted to the smut. I would be so appreciative of a password if you should see fit.
I tried to mail you a few butch pics of my humble self plus some feedback via the contact-me-link on this site.Unfortunately my mail returned, please send me your correct mailaddress.
can i have accessssss please??
wanna read.
I'm not butch, and I'm not a lesbian, but your blog is AMAZING to me. You are a fabulous writer and you make me wish I was "traveling in your circle." I think that I will so enjoy reading your stories and exploring a side of me that has yet to be, um…"tapped" :0)
Your insight is awesome, after having read some of your posts on the difficulty of explaining/defending the Butch-femme dynamic I have been better able to explain to my straight and even confused queer friends, as a Femme I am constantly asked why don't I just be with a man, it can be very difficult to explain that "yes i am a lesbian, but I want a big 'ol butch. I would love to have access to your protected entries, and I am looking forward to your future entries, thanks for sharing your insight with the queer community.
Hi. i would love a password to the protected posts. if the unprotected ones are this good, what can the protected ones be hiding?
Hey man, reading your smut entries during medical school classes makes lecture MUCH more entertaining. I need more to read so I would love to get into the password protected posts.
Thanks.
Great writing-frank and funny.
Your writing is glorious, celebratory, proud and so, so hot, where have you been all my life?! Much love. X
