Jaymie Wagner is a queer, trans, and polyamorous nonbinary girl who lives in the Twin Cities. A writer of short stories, erotica, and her “Sing For Me” series of werewolf novels, she is here to smooch weird things and somehow keeps making her mom proud.

Ryder West (they/them) is a non-binary trans masc writer of smutty words. Their stories focus on vulnerability in D/s relationships and the sexiness of trans bodies.
