I was privileged to travel and explore many parts of the world. I admit that I was somewhat of a brat, and also out of control. My general took it upon himself to be a Daddy to me and my first Dominant as well. He made me face my fears, try exotic foreign foods, and even challenged me to go outside my comfort zone and learn to play--while he played along with me. Despite the trouble I got into (and there was plenty) and the consequences that came of it, I never felt abandoned, unloved or afraid.
This is about my first Dom and my introduction into the age-play dynamic. Many things happened after being taken under my general's protective (and incredibly patient) wing. He gave me a sense of significance and worth through love, firm guidance and boundaries. He made me laugh, helped me to cry, and showed me the power and healing contained within the age-play lifestyle. He made it safe for my inner child to express herself and taught me that it was good to enjoy life.
But no one really knows what happens behind closed doors or the things that happen to shatter your dreams and violate your joy. This was one of the most difficult books that I have written. It not only brought up many memories, both good and bad, but it also forced me to reveal parts of my past that some might find disturbing. Because of those issues, I felt this story would be a valuable asset to the Breaking Chains© series.
I pray that all of you are blessed with at least one person who has positively impacted your life and that you grab every opportunity and positively touch others. Always remember--your words and actions have the power to either heal or kill. Which direction do you choose?

WARNING- This story is based on real events and is dedicated to the men and women of Holding Out Help, an organization assisting those escaping from forced polygamy and abuse within the FLDS compounds. The first month’s proceeds from this book will be donated to this organization in appreciation for all the information given during the process of this books research. All additional proceeds will be used to fund the next Breaking Chains project. Please note that the characters and the story are fictional, and any resemblance to actual persons is purely coincidental. *** Life or Death. The decision is made the moment Liberty steps foot outside of the gates of the compound and ducks the sentry’s lights. She has a few hours before dawn to make it to the safety of the Nevada border before the discovery of her absence. At that time, the vicious and merciless ‘God Squad’ will be sent to hunt her down and bring her back for a punishment worse than death. One of the FLDS cult’s countless children forced into an abusive plural marriage to a man old enough to be her grandfather; Liberty knows that if she doesn’t produce children, then she is certain to meet an unfortunate incident. Having experienced the heinous treatment by those on the compound, she is more than willing to take the risk with the Outsiders and seek a new life free of pain and suffering. Rescue comes in the form of Jerrod Stockton and his younger brother, Justice who operate a Safe House program for runaways. They, along with Jerrod’s wife, Robin give her a life and a family she never had—one filled with love and acceptance rather than malice and derision. Life with the Stockton family fills her with both joy and confusion. Liberty sees the truth of real, unconditional love, faith and the value of discipline yet still struggles with the indoctrinated beliefs that leave her feeling that she has no value or worth if she fails to blindly obey the edicts proclaimed from the incarcerated prophet's jail cell. She also discovers that her heart is open to the love of a man who has not been ‘assigned’ to be her husband. Can Justice bring freedom for Liberty by helping her accept herself as a woman? After a lifetime of indoctrination, is escape possible when it comes to the mind? Is she capable of breaking the chains of the past and reach her full potential as promised by her new family or will she be forever trapped in the chains of anger and emptiness? |
Who am I?
I'm a native Californian gone 'wild', and had the opportunity to travel the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable characters.
In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving. Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.
My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time, I've devoted my 'spare' time to writing, researching, community involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.
I was formally 'dungeon trained' as a Domme before discovering my submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled primarily from either personal experience or observation, including spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on 'the real deal.'
I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear), and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John can't find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.
