# Why I Wrote This Book

Like many people who are part of the BDSM/kink communities, it has frustrated me how the media portrays the people who are involved with it and misconstrues what it is. Stories focus on sensational tidbits while ignoring context and the reasons why we do what we do. They leave out the human element. The books I’ve come across are dry “how-tos” or are fiction written by people who have no firsthand experience with BDSM/kink and have done little research. I wanted to change that by writing a story that explains the BDSM/kink *lifestyle* using interesting characters and dynamic relationships. It’s important for people to hear stories of underrepresented groups from the people who are a part of those groups.

While this book is fiction, and there’s a mix of fictional and genuine elements from society. I wrote portrayals of BDSM/kink which are realistic compared to my experiences. I also don’t shy away from writing explicit sex and kink scenes.

This has been a project 10 years in the making. It comes from a place of passion and a desire to educate people about the wonderful individuals who live outside the ‘shoulds’ of society.

It’s about time a good representation of BDSM/kink hits the mainstream. Let’s make that happen.

# Is This Book For You?

I did not write this story for a specific audience. I layered it to appeal to a wide range of people. This book is for you if:

- You want to have a better understanding of people you know who are involved with the lifestyle, or you’re curious and want to learn about it, even if you have no interest in participating in BDSM/kink yourself.
- You’re interested in BDSM/kink and are just starting your journey.
- You are part of the communities and want a story you can relate to which is an accurate representation of BDSM/kink. At times, you’ll probably let out a sigh of relief and say something along the lines of, “thank god she mentioned safety shears.”
- You enjoy fiction about people learning to understand themselves and how that can change the relationships around them.

What drives the stories in my book are the characters, their growth, and their relationships. BDSM/kink are tools in their journeys. I’ll clarify misconceptions about the lifestyle, and you’ll learn more about what BDSM/kink is without feeling like you’re sitting through a seminar.

One of my hopes with this book is for it to be a launching point in conversations about BDSM/kink, consent, and different types of relationship dynamics. Many people participate in the lifestyle, and I feel it’s important to remove stigma and shame. Talking about it openly makes it safer and more fulfilling for those involved.
