edit data

Writer, artist, doctor and English teacher, also expert at leading quadruple lives. I am pretty sure aliens dropped me here when I was born, but can't find direct evidence of that.

I write so I can read the stories I'd like to read. As simple as that. I invent my stories with the heart, not the mind. You'll surely feel the "spark" in them, the life in the characters, the freedom that is hard to define with words. Because I really, really like to write. Writing what you like is so much fun, and you can clearly see it when the author enjoys themselves. That"spark" is what I seek everywhere, no matter how famous the writer is or how sharp their writing skills are.

Why paranormal romance, erotic romance, detectives, mature young adult and romant ...more

My Thoughts on 2024

(100% NoAI, photocopy paper, colored pens, colored pencils and a bit of marker)

An image is worth a thousand words they say. Okay, okay, not really. Though 2024 wasn't a great year for me, it was still much better than others. Out of the top of my head, 2022 was much worse for me. Yet I still thought it funny to make the characters of my steamy paranormal romance saga Forbidden: A Steamy Paranormal Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Haru Ichiban (?)

“I would like to make love to you every day, Sween. Several times. To take time to indulge in long foreplays, from playing games to cover each other in food and lick it away, and then on to long sessions of lovemaking… In the morning… In the afternoon… At night… Soft, intense, loving, lustful, kinky… Everything. I want us to try everything.”

“Hmm… Aren’t we the little pervert?” I slide a finger up his chest to his chin.
“You haven’t seen anything yet. But I think you like me better this way.”
I smirk lustfully. “You think right.”

“He walks forward and pinches my metallic star with his fingers, not refraining from a good grope in the process. “Sheriff, eh? Where are your handcuffs?”
I blush, first at his touch and then at his words. [...]
He smirks. “Well, I don’t mind if you handcuff me, as long as it’s in the correct setting.”
I smile evilly at him. “I’ll remember that.”

Haru’s Quotes

“[…] if you have to choose between your conformism and your passion, I’d choose the passion, no matter how short lived. Between being like dead, and living intensely even for a little, I think the choice is clear. [...] It’s kinda like the coffee preparation you wanted me to choose earlier. Why settle for decaffeinated or umbrella juice, when you can have the full flavor of it?”
― Haru Ichiban, Forbidden

“There are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life, fully, entirely, completely-or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.”
