About the Author

Hephaestus (a.k.a. "Heph") is 30 years old, 5'9", about 140 lbs or so. Clean cut and professional by day; if you walked past me on the street, you'd never guess who I was. Intelligent, articulate, and thoughtful. I've lived all over the place, but currently am in the Los Angeles area.

My interest in submissive women goes back to when I was very, very young, but it wasn't until I was 17 that I found out that there were women out there with compatible fantasies. Thank you, Kimberly. I'll never forget you.

The most common question I get is if I'm really like the "Heph" character that appears in the stories, and if I'm really as dominant as him. The answer is yes and no. Heph certainly is idealized, and is at best just one side of me. But on the other hand, I can easily be that dominant or even more so. I'm a real sweetie, and I really enjoy getting to know people and laughing with them, and just exploring what it means to be alive, but if you give me an inch, I'll take a mile, especially if I notice that you're getting turned on by being treated like that.

Please note that there is now a "Heph Monthly" newsletter you can subscribe to, which will include information about new stories, more information about me, Q&A, and so on. Just email me at hephaestus@phreaker.net to join.
