Stephen grew up in Blackpool, shaped by a deeply traumatic childhood. He endured constant humiliation, including being mocked at school for wearing oversized clothes his mother made him wear. His struggles eventually led to his admission to a psychiatric institution, where he underwent electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)—an experience that intensified his inner turmoil. These early wounds shaped him into a deeply insecure yet outwardly arrogant and controlling young man. The patterns followed him into every relationship throughout his life. Until he met Tomoz. And then, everything began to unravel.
The VENUS FLY TRAP is a compelling story of fierce, passionate love—and the sex, lies, devastation, and consequences that followed. It captures the ecstasy and destruction love can bring: the joy and connection, the heartbreak and desperation, the trust we couldn’t sustain, and the hope that kept us loving anyway.
SOULTRY is a deeply immersive exploration of emotion and presence, moving beyond poetry or prose into a raw, soul-driven expression. It captures the energy and rhythm of automatic writing, revealing the truth that flows through the heart rather than the mind. At its core, it honors love, transformation, and the divine feminine, inspired by the woman Tomoz, showing how surrendering to feeling and following bliss leads to awakening, connection, and the profound experience of being fully alive.
