Vanessa Clark is intersex, transgender (agender, gender non-conforming), androgynous, pansexual, and at the end of the day, a laid-back, down-to-earth person in love with life’s simple pleasures—drag, art, culture, fashion, food, film, literature, music, and beauty, in all its gorgeous diversities. Many call Vanessa mysterious, and they are right. Vanessa is not an open book, but has joy in sharing part of who they are through their contemporary/historical LGBTQI erotic romance fiction. Vanessa’s writing career started in high school where they gained a reputation for their short stories, having been given a couple of Gold Key awards from Scholastic, Inc. They got their start writing erotica during college. After having many short erotica stories published on Oysters&Chocolate.com, they have since had various erotic shorts published in anthologies under their initials, V.C. Their book with Bold Strokes Books, The Man on Top of the World, a bisexual romance that spotlights the wild, complex relationship between a David Bowie-esque glam rock superstar and his drummer, is their debut novel.
