Dear Reader,

I have been a BDSM practitioner for over twenty years. I offer group and private classes, public speaking engagements, and personal  BDSM/KINK ritual work. For more information, please read the Offerings page.

My writing work has always been intertwined with my sadomasochism proclivities. I hold a BA from Barnard with a focus on writing--(My Senior thesis was on the Erotic Taboo)-- and a MFA from The New School. My writing can be found in various anthologies, online sites, and magazines. The list is on my Links page. I am currently working on a memoir of violence and magic, as well as a new webseries called, Mercy Mistress. Watch our trailer below and follow on www.MercyMistress.com

My website is a collection of personal essays and fleeting thoughts, some polished and published, others rough, raw, and exposed only to the eyes that seek them here.  The content is infused with Bondage, Books, Taboo and Transgression, Sadomasochism, Mendlesohn's Concerto in E Minor, Reclamation and Healing, Sex Work Activism, Gender Bending, Steamed Dumplings, Nebulae and Black holes, MotherPotence, Cycling, and Oceanic Life. 
​
Thank you for stopping in to peruse these stray thoughts.

With tender, leather heart,
​Yin Q
