More than Spice: The Story & Purpose
Values
What drives everything I do.
Authenticity – I believe in messy, complex, fully human characters who feel real and reflect a wide range of lived experiences.
Representation – Queer, kinky, and marginalized voices belong at the center of the story — not the sidelines.
Pleasure – Emotional, physical, sensual. Pleasure is valid, necessary, and something to be celebrated.
Consent – In my stories and in our spaces, enthusiastic and informed consent is the foundation for connection.
Community – I'm not here to write in a vacuum. I'm trying to build something with readers, writers, and advocates — together.
Mission
What drives me.
To tell emotionally charged love stories that center joy, explore kink with care, and embrace all the messy parts of being human.
Through my writing and community efforts, I aim to create a space where readers feel seen, safe, and satisfied — whether they come for the spice, stay for the feelings, or both.
Purpose
Why this work matters.
Romance is powerful. It shapes how we see ourselves, each other, and what we deserve in love. My purpose is to tell stories that offer hope, healing, and horny little plot twists for anyone who's ever felt "too much" for the mainstream.
Vision
Where we’re headed.
A future where queer and kinky love stories are not niche — they’re necessary. I envision a world where diverse, inclusive, and emotionally resonant romance is on every bookshelf and at the center of every happily ever after.
