Praise

First Step is a deeply moving story about courage, vulnerability, and self-acceptance. Claire’s first night at The Glass Heel is written with such tenderness that I felt her every heartbeat. The connection with Elena is both sensual and affirming, showing how love can help us embrace who we truly are. Emotional, lyrical, and unforgettable. Waiting to read more books from the author.

– Garima Bais

First Step is a beautiful, heartfelt read about finding the courage to show up as yourself. Claire’s first night out as her true self could have been written with nerves and fear alone, but instead the story shines with tenderness, desire, and hope. What I loved most is that this isn’t just a romance, it’s also a story of self-acceptance. Claire doesn’t leave the club “fixed” by love. She leaves stronger because she finally chooses herself. It’s tender, erotic, and empowering, and it leaves you with the kind of warmth that lingers long after you’ve closed the book

– Leah Miller

First Step is one of those rare stories that feels both intimate and monumental. From the first page, you’re drawn into the soft pulse of The Glass Heel—a place that feels alive, watching, and welcoming—and into Claire’s journey of self-discovery, desire, and courage.

The writing is exquisite: lyrical yet grounded, sensual without ever losing emotional truth. Every line hums with vulnerability and power. Claire’s first encounter with Elena is electric, but what lingers most is the tenderness—the recognition, the relief, the beauty of being seen.

This isn’t just an erotic novella; it’s a love letter to trans women, to authenticity, and to the sacredness of finding your place in the world. The emotional resonance stays with you long after the final page.

First Step is bold, deeply human, and absolutely stunning. A must-read for anyone who believes that transformation begins the moment we dare to be fully ourselves.

There are forty-eight weekends at The Glass Heel. Forty-eight women stepping through those doors, each carrying her own hunger, her own secrets, her own reasons for being there. Some nights I close my eyes and I can see them all—a crowded dance floor of characters waiting for their turn in the spotlight, each one whispering, Tell my story. Tell mine.

So how do I choose? How do I decide which woman gets her weekend, which desire gets explored, which corner of intimacy I'll illuminate next?

Why I'm Writing 48 Novellas About Desire, Power, and the Glass Heel It

It started with a wild, impossible thought. I remember staring at my notes for what was supposed to be just one novella and realizing it wasn’t enough. There were too many women, too many stories, too many nights under the strobe lights of The Glass Heel waiting to be told. Forty-eight. That was the number that came to me—one novella for every weekend in a year. I laughed when I said it out loud. Am I really doing this? Forty-eight? But even as I asked the question, I knew the answer. I had...
