FAQ
What is dark romance, exactly?
Dark romance is something of an umbrella term. At one end: stories where a character is morally black or grey — coercion, power imbalance, transgression woven into the dynamic itself. At the other: a relationship that is healthy and real, but the world around it isn't. The mafia Don and his wife may be good to each other. What they do outside that love is another matter.
What holds it all together is the refusal to look away.
How dark is "dark"? What should I expect?
I've been reading widely in this genre for most of my life, and involved in kink communities for close to a decade. I know the territory.
What I want to be clear about: these are not stories written purely for titillation. They have character development. They have plot that matters. The darkness serves something — it illuminates something true about desire, about pain, about the ways people wound each other and sometimes, imperfectly, choose each other anyway.
The world is a dark place that dresses itself up in daylight. We grow up on happy endings, but more often the dark wins — relationships fail, people hurt each other, and everyone finds their own outlet. Some people write stories. Some do standup. Some take the pain somewhere it doesn't belong.
I write stories. This is mine.
No judgment if you get something else out of them.
Do your stories have happy endings?
Some do. Some don't. Like real love — not all of it resolves the way we'd choose.
Are the stories free to read?
Everything on this site is free, as are any stories I post on social media.
Are you working on anything longer — a novel or novella?
Yes. More on that when there's more to say.
