It’s been a while

Jan 27, 2025 | Updates

It’s been awhile, so I thought I’d remind you who I am!

Let me tell you a story about a little girl who couldn’t stop writing stories about people in dramatic situations. That girl was me, and I recently found this gem from when I was seven. As you can see, I’ve always been drawn to certain themes!

That storytelling instinct never left me. After writing a few novels in my twenties that live happily in a drawer somewhere, I found MM fanfiction online and had a lightbulb moment. Finally, I’d found my tribe! I went on to write award-winning stories across fandoms like The X Files, The West Wing, Stargate: Atlantis, NCIS, Doctor Who, Suits, and Sherlock.

My claim to fame? Creating a unique BDSM universe where everyone identifies as dom or sub, and bisexual BDSM relationships are the norm. This eventually led to my first original novel in 2012, Ricochet – a gay BDSM romantic romp that you can find here.

After Ricochet, I had to step back from writing for a few years to care for beloved family members who have since passed away. But now I’m back doing what I love best—creating stories that span genres from fantasy to murder mysteries, sci-fi to dystopian. While gay romance is at the heart of them all, not every story features BDSM—there’s something for everyone!

 

Xanthe's first writings

These days, you’ll find me splitting my time between London and Somerset with my cats, Coco and Indy. When I’m not writing, I’m probably:

  • Exploring historic sites
  • Watching musical theatre
  • Playing pickleball
  • Enjoying country walks
  • Eating scones—I’m a true Sconnoisseur!
