Dark Romance

There's a place where people go to have a good time and watch shows. A cabaret that features a drag troupe and a troupe of burlesque dancers is a place of solace for the queer community. Here, straight and gay drag queens and kings mix together, as well as all manner of genders, gender expressions, and other identities. The name? Behind the Red, which is a reference to the red curtain of the stage, as well as the curtain that people must pull back to reveal their real selves to the world. It's a unique place, and the owner takes nothing off people who try to ruin his experience.

Kerry finds a home with the people there, new to coming out and crossdressing. This duology features a range of characters (be aware, there are quite a few!). These characters are all important to the story, though their importance may not be at first obvious. If you've read book one, stay tuned for book two, where you'll see many of the characters get their time in the spotlight!

The Universe titled Healing bonds consists of three different series of books. These series, Chains of Fate, Joe Town Bound, and Silken Bonds, all take place in different locations. Chains of Fate is located in St. Louis, Missouri, Joe Town Bound is in St. Joseph, Missouri, and Silken Bonds is in Santa Cruz, California.

The uniting factor of all these different books is that they all focus on healing through bondage. Each book centers around a character that is placed in extraordinary circumstances, and their partner or partners are the people that help them through it. Using the tools that bondage and submission has to offer, these people find their way through their trauma to healing.

There are no magic cures in this universe, as it is grounded in reality. There is no cure all and bondage and love do not make the bad times go away. These characters have to deal with learning to live again when the world seems at the grayest. The bonds they form with others, both romantic and platonic, are at the center of everything that happens in these books.
