PROMO: Her Name Was Chas

 

 

Contemporary LGBTQ Fiction, Lesbian Romance

Date Published: November 13,2025

The last place Chas Montgomery wants to be is in the damp basement of an old church undergoing conversion therapy. But when her mother catches her kissing her best friend Jess, that's exactly where she ends up.

Years later, “Chastity” is a model of the life her family always wanted for her: married to a man and devoted to her faith. She’s done everything “right” and put her old life behind her for good. Until she meets Alex.

Alex is confident, compassionate, and everything Chas never knew she needed. As their connection deepens, Chas begins to question the beliefs she was forced to live by. For the first time, she chooses herself—and a new life filled with authenticity, freedom, and love.

But when an unexpected pregnancy from her marriage threatens to unravel everything, Chas must confront her past to protect her future. Can she hold on to the life she’s building with Alex, or will fear, guilt, and unrelenting pressure pull her back into the shadows?

PROMO: In Her Sanctum

 

 

Lesbian Romance, Lesbian Fiction

Date Published: March 3, 2025

 

 

They’re opposites in the widest degree.

Elise Hahnfeld is the ‘perfect’, obedient, high-performing office worker. She’s been a doormat for so many years it felt second-nature, but she’s growing exasperated at the drudgery of her normal life, her job that’s taken more from her than she can afford to give. If only someone was there to show her a different path, one where the unknown can be exciting instead of terrifying. Someone who could distract her from the mundane. When Elise loses everything, desperation drives her to do something unthinkable.

She gives up control to a dominant woman with a taste of the forbidden.

Sierra Kernan isn’t a stereotypical Mistress. She’s masculine, cocky… and exactly Elise’s type. Sierra is a barber-turned disciplinarian with a body that could turn even the straightest woman into a flustered mess with just a command. Sierra is everything that Elise isn’t: confident, strong, and self-assured.

When their paths meet, Elise realizes that Sierra isn’t the revered Mistress she claims, but a woman with a dark past. Sierra’s jealous twin sister Abi is a toughened mercenary determined to make their lives a whole lot messier.

It’s a delicate dance of trust and submission. Elise is repressing a feistiness that only Mistress Sierra knows how to tame… but who says that being tamed is a bad thing?

About the Author

I'm an indie author, gamer, cat lover and geek culture consumer. I work as an IT technician. I'm creatively-wired and love technology.

I started writing as a hobby, poetry and creative writing, and then I branched out into writing novels. There were a lot of unfinished drafts that never materialised, until I finally found myself, seemingly out of nowhere, writing and fleshing out an entire novel. The ideas flowed, and so too did the words on the page.

Six years later, I have returned with an entirely new direction and narrative style. I focus on writing sapphic, lesbian stories that I feel are often underrepresented in media and especially on bookshop shelves.

Allowing the reader to have the freedom to interpret things in their own mind plays a part in my overall writing style. My writing isn't always black and white, but symbolic and colourful. I find power in writing strong, capable female protagonists.

REVIEW

Wow, I am blown away by the emotion Joanne Sexton was able to evoke during the course of this novel. It is a very exploratory novel and a new genre for me. There is a lot of depth to this novel. These women deal with real issues and the pacing and plot was very well developed as well.

Excerpt

Darkness and light tango across the ceiling when wind strip searches trees, blocking the streetlight's glow when the bluster sways branches. The eerie shapes skittering overhead would be frightening if I was a child, or if I allowed my imagination to take hold.

Instead, lying in the darkness, they are soothing somehow. I shiver as the howling outside mimics the shadows stretching in front of me.

The snoring besides me escalates, and I sigh. I love Alex, in my own way. As much as I can love him. It isn’t his fault our relationship is mundane and our sex life so routine. It took both of us to destroy the foundation of our life together. He can't read minds.
