Cristela had a childhood shrouded in secrets. Ashamed of their circumstances, her mother told lies and encouraged her daughter to do the same. As Cristela grew, she unraveled the lies, but found that deception is a hard habit to break. Now, as an adult, Cristela creates a secret alter ego as the dominatrix Mistress Clara.

With her knack for duplicity things should work smoothly except for one complication – friendship.

Divided between her affection for the girls at the dungeon and her desire to keep her fetish activities secret, Cristela fears her two worlds are colliding. Can Cristela break her history of deceit? In a world of vices and virtues, salvation isn’t something you find, it’s a path you make.

Now an adult, she mostly scribbles on her home computer surrounded by her noisy children and their less noisy father.

Book Title: Vices/Virtues

Excerpt Pages and Chapter: page 310, chapter “Mix It All Together”

Excerpt:

Some of the Fugacious Femmes elicited a similar
response. Paris, for example, she didn’t stay long but during the
time she worked at the dungeon, she was hated and she knew it. I
always imagined she must have had some tragic backstory that
forced her to break the rules and incur the ire of everyone. In my
mind she had been transformed into Fantine, the sympathetic
prostitute from "Les Miserables." I felt miles superior.
Drug and calamity free, in my mind I floated above the others
who were mired in misfortune. It was a fantasy I managed to
maintain for a long time, until that night when I finally
understood the truth. I wasn’t floating; I had fallen. I had
created a secret life at the dungeon just so I could be ashamed of
it. As a child, Griselda had burdened me with shameful secrets, but as
an adult, I had done this to myself. The worst part was I hadn’t
even been aware of it.
