Raven had clawed her way to the pinnacle of a dark underworld of hedonistic excess. But Raven is the creation of a gentler woman only seeking to protect a damaged soul. Twisted by power and position, that protection mutates into someone capable of cruelties that the innocent should not endure. Her downfall is swift, the aftermath one of pain, brutality and the destruction of a person struggling to survive first as her alter ego, then as the lost being beneath. Hope comes from unexpected sources – from someone from her past, and from someone very much in her present. But hope is a delicate thing. Can she win through and if she does, at what cost to those around her, those she has left behind and most of all, to herself?

Monotony in a town full of bitter memories can lead to a roll of the dice, taking a risk. Chance chooses Kat and she does just that, she had to or be left forever wondering, ‘what if?’ High hopes and the twin horses of pride and vanity gallop her headlong into something completely unexpected and shocking, plunging her into a world of money and power, subjugation and punishment, pain and depravity. Can the benevolence she discovers help her? The only thing she can be certain of is that her life would be changed forever.From the AuthorThe majority of Descent Into Darkness was written over a 2 year period from 2008 to 2010 but was self-published in August 2014 as the author's first novel. Inspired by reading many varied works over many years, there was always a nagging thought that 'I can do that too' and when they say everyone has a book in them, this was always going to be mine. It didn't stop there though. After a sigh of relief and the sense of achievement from the completion of 'Descent', the ideas kept flowing and missing the thrill of how a story slowly reveals itself to me as I am writing it and thanks to the encouragement of others, a wider project was born with the sequel being 'Dark Days'. From the Inside FlapDescent Into Darkness became the first of the 'Written Pictures' series of novels which follow the fortunes of a group of people through a BDSM-themed year of love and adventure, exploration and erotica. The series of erotic thrillers tells of how the lives and loves of strangers intertwine, touching each other to shape and influence sometimes in subtle ways, sometimes less so with the potent interplay of passion and power.
