I am in a BDSM relationship…with my job.

And as of August 12, 2017, this affair has been going on for 18 years.

It started out innocent enough.  In fact, in the beginning, it was quite fun.  I was the marketing manager at a mall, and a lot of weird sh*t happened there.  Being that my ultimate dream was to someday become a bona fide writer, this “sh*t” was pure gold.  My book was going to write itself!
