WARNING- This story is based on real events and is dedicated to the men and women of Holding Out Help, an organization assisting those escaping from forced polygamy and abuse within the FLDS compounds. The first month’s proceeds from this book will be donated to this organization in appreciation for all the information given during the process of this books research. All additional proceeds will be used to fund the next Breaking Chains project. Please note that the characters and the story are fictional, and any resemblance to actual persons is purely coincidental. ***
Life or Death. The decision is made the moment Liberty steps foot outside of the gates of the compound and ducks the sentry’s lights. She has a few hours before dawn to make it to the safety of the Nevada border before the discovery of her absence. At that time, the vicious and merciless ‘God Squad’ will be sent to hunt her down and bring her back for a punishment worse than death.
One of the FLDS cult’s countless children forced into an abusive plural marriage to a man old enough to be her grandfather; Liberty knows that if she doesn’t produce children, then she is certain to meet an unfortunate incident. Having experienced the heinous treatment by those on the compound, she is more than willing to take the risk with the Outsiders and seek a new life free of pain and suffering. Rescue comes in the form of Jerrod Stockton and his younger brother, Justice who operate a Safe House program for runaways. They, along with Jerrod’s wife, Robin give her a life and a family she never had—one filled with love and acceptance rather than malice and derision.
Life with the Stockton family fills her with both joy and confusion. Liberty sees the truth of real, unconditional love, faith and the value of discipline yet still struggles with the indoctrinated beliefs that leave her feeling that she has no value or worth if she fails to blindly obey the edicts proclaimed from the incarcerated prophet's jail cell. She also discovers that her heart is open to the love of a man who has not been ‘assigned’ to be her husband. Can Justice bring freedom for Liberty by helping her accept herself as a woman?
After a lifetime of indoctrination, is escape possible when it comes to the mind? Is she capable of breaking the chains of the past and reach her full potential as promised by her new family or will she be forever trapped in the chains of anger and emptiness?
From my first publication in 2012 to now, I’ve put out over 70 titles—every one of them different, unique and with a special purpose. What’s that? As a BDSM lifestyler, I want my readers to be entertained but also trust they will get truth and reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange lifestyle in my books. My hope is that they not only walk away entertained (and a little horny), but also wanting more.
I don’t think there’s a genre of erotica that I don’t enjoy writing; hence, I’ve developed an extensive collection that ranges from Historical Victorian to Science Fiction, Contemporary/Historical Westerns, Humor, Post-Apocalyptic, Fantasy and everything in between. My readers are smart (and a little sadistic) and don’t hesitate to let me know EXACTLY what they want—and I do my best to make them happy. My readers are everything to me and I strive to provide something for everyone. I’ve also published non-fiction pieces that share how I was introduced to the Age-Play lifestyle (The General’s Little Angel and A Little Play Day). In the spirit of paying it forward to my first Dom who not only blistered my tail, but saved my life, the proceeds from The General’s Little Angel have been donated to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
I’m known best for my Age-Play books and my spanking/sex scenes. Each book has different heat levels appropriate for the story and always involve committed relationships, including those with multiple and/or same sex partners, consensual (except in horror/post-apop where the bad guy always gets his in the end—sometimes literally!), and have a strong story line that keeps the reader engaged and invested in the characters.
Warning—most of my readers say that they cry at the end and then spend the rest of the day looking like clowns because they can’t stop smiling.
So what makes me, well, me?
I’m a native Californian gone 'wild', and had the opportunity to travel the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique inspiration for my books and provide realistic plots and relatable characters.
In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving. Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.
My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time, I’ve devoted my ‘spare’ time to writing, researching, community involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.
I was formally ‘dungeon trained’ as a Domme before discovering my submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled primarily from either personal experience or observation, including spending time in clubs as the safety/medical officer. My multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and provides a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of fantasy and fiction. I also address the questions and psychology of the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on 'the real deal'.
I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear), and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John can't find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.
