Burlesque Showreel, Act 2

The second effort in my ongoing project to while away the quarantine by filming a showreel of my burlesque solos. I finally accede to popular pressure and choreograph a vampire routine, with homage to a certain classic 1980s film. This is not quite the debut I wanted for this act, but it is what it...

Music Review – “Vamp” (Jake Perrine, 2001)

I was introduced to this Gothic rock-opera by a friend several years ago, rediscovered it recently, and was amazed how much influence from it had seeped into my own work: in particular, its villain-protagonist Alexandra has more than a little in common with the antagonist of "Wolves of Dacia." That being so, and since I...

Witches vs. Nazis

The annual C64 game competition now looms its head, so here is the final instalment in my "Valkyrie" series of WW2-themed games, and this time the heroine is a Soviet lesbian fighter pilot who sidelines as a white witch ... because why not? (Download from competition page. Requires a C64 emulator.) Designed on C64 SEUCK...

Lucille and the Healers

There was a time not so long ago when I wanted to distance myself from the past - and particularly from my old name - so much that I would never share my old works, but now that the end of my transition is well and truly in sight the past seems less scary than...

Wolves of Dacia (First time in paperback)

2018 has got off to an eventful start - lots of requests for Tarot readings, new fanfiction published, Burlesque dance classes started, but best of all, my long-awaited first ever paperback novel has finally hit the shelves (or Amazon, at any rate) ... Wolves of Dacia is my second foray into historical Gothic fiction (after...

Don’t punch a Nazi – drink their blood …

Creatively, it has been a quiet year so far, but finally I have something to show for my intermittent and much-procrastinated labours ... Download at TND - The New Dimension As you may have inferred, this is a new C64 game I have designed and programmed, using what little knowledge of C64 Assembly I have...

“Wolves of Dacia” – Call For Readers

Finally, I have a finished draft of the vampire novel I have been wittering on about for ages. If anyone is interested in reading it and offering me whatever feedback they feel able to, good or critical or scathing, please drop me a PM. Synopsis follows... Genre - Dark Fairytale / Dieselpunk / WW2 Pages...

Gothic Dieselpunk

...and if that isn't a mouthful of a name for a genre, I don't know what would be. I am conscious this has recently turned into a blog for my weird artistic pursuits rather than for anything directly related to my transition, but so be it. Since my fiction has for many years been a...

And Now For Something Completely Off-Topic…

Creative hobbies are one of my best tactics for fending off depression, and it is not unknown (albeit rare) for them to occasionally produce fruit. On this occasion, after a lot of hair-tearing and false starts, I have a completed a game for the Commodore 64 8-bit computer (or emulator of). I have entered this...

Burning Bridges and Glitching Vampires

My silence has been repeatedly noted, so I thought it time to type a quick assurance that contrary to the evidence Cal and I are still alive and well, and continuing as planned with our transitions. There have, alas, been no positive developments, though, and this week I find myself a somewhat lonelier trans lady......
