I am a professional journalist and author who writes erotica under the pseudonym "Crystal Veeyant" to conceal my erotic literary endeavors from my editors, my mainstream readers and, most of all, my literary manager. I revel in celebrating my real-life desires and interests in my writing, hopefully to the satisfaction of readers who love shemale, transsexual, transgender and crossdresser characters. Given my extensive research and my numerous personal associations within this delightful demographic, I have the pulse of my audience. I want to please them with my work. I have seen much of the jejune and sophomoric prose aimed at "gender erotica" audiences, so I strive to do better. My education and two decades in the writing profession enable me to write with depth and originality—plus erotic intensity. It is my hope not only to serve my readership but also to open the horizons of the more vanilla erotica readers into the genre I call "genderotica." I don't plan to recruit new genderbenders—though one can always hope!—but at least I might expose new readers to this genre that gives me so much pleasure to write.
