Hi y'all! I'm Des!
I'm a thirtysomething, hopeless romantic, neurodivergent small town girl. I'm happily married, love fitness, the outdoors, thrift stores, and being a homebody.
I love writing stories that blend serious topics with humor, cuteness, and a little spice. I tend to write stories involving LGBTQ+ characters, age gap relationships, and a little bit of kink.
Hope you enjoy my cozy little corner of Wattpad!
