The First Pledge
Erica Nylund is a woman struggling with injuries that changed her world. When she stumbles across a man searching through her bag in the women's changing rooms, things change in ways neither would ever have expected. Through him, Erica will discover a love for dominance, humiliation and control that may just begin to bring her body comfort.
Through her, Daniel will discover a world of leather, lace and cross-dressing under a woman worthy of worship, when not hidden behind her defensive walls. His pledge may be the first step to bringing those walls down.

About the author
Leona D. Reish
52 books15 followersI am (not) a vampire. I say that both to spark humour and because you have to imagine vampires would get bored of the same eclectic castles and slowly developing society after a few hundred years and travel the world a bit. While not over hundreds of years, I have had the opportunity to travel and lived in such places in the United States as New Mexico, Arkansas, New Jersey, Philadelphia visited friends in New York and Washington DC.
Born in and returned to England, I've had a similar stint of living the length and breadth of this island nation and chance to visit the art galleries in Paris and dark reaches of the most northern Norway.
I am a writer, and creating such diversity and colour as exists in the world has been one of the few consistencies in my much-traveled life. Perhaps it was growing up with such things as Mario Paint, a typewriter and Father that had worked in military communications that drew me to creativity and writing.
My typewriter is now a mechanical keyboard on a PC capable of more than you could imagine back then. Now one of the other consistencies that's remained true to my life since then is my desire to do something that moves people. If I can enter your life with my writing, and make you feel good, smile and enjoy what I've done, that's exactly what I live for. It's something reflected in a history of graphical design work where I aimed to design involving and moving imagery, voluntary employment with Oxford Famine Relief (more commonly known as Oxfam) to a management level and nationally certified customer service.
I sincerely hope you enjoy any, if not all of my work here the way I've enjoyed putting heart and soul into every piece.

My, oh my, what a delightfully curious tale we find within the pages of Shoes of Glass. Although the story itself is largely your standard forced feminization fantasy, Leona D. Reish fills it with some fantastical details that serve to imbue it with a sense of mystery and wonder.
Erica Nylund is an interesting young woman with secrets that are only hinted at in this first volume. The first words we hear her speak are, “Must be nice, to still have wings.” Huh. It’s something that we might be tempted to dismiss as an idle complaint to her doll, if not for the scars across her back, her contorted foot, and her memories of a day that could have involve a fall from the sky. As for that doll she’s speaking to, it clearly represents something to her, and comes back to play a role in the final pages, but remains another mystery to be revealed.
Daniel is the young man she catches going through her things in the change room. The way she confronts him, pinning him against the lockers with her crutch is definitely unsettling, but her own surprise at the kinky, dominant thoughts suddenly running through her head is even more so. Their role play back in her dorm could be dismissed as nothing more than a little erotic fun, but she is surprisingly well equipped for a bondage session, and he’s surprisingly submissive to her wishes. When he thinks to himself that she’s a witch, it’s a comment that we might be tempted to dismiss in the heart of the moment, but when he thinks it again later . . . well, it adds to the mystery.
As for the bondage, the domination, and the forced feminization, it's darkly erotic and full of sumptuous detail. Reish really allows us to experience the intimacy of their actions, the depth of their feelings, and the conflicting emotions running beneath it all. With Shoes of Glass being the first in a series, I am really anxious to see how the story progresses, and what's beneath all the mystery. Just a lovely book, with some real narrative depth.
