Christa Faust grew up in New York City, in the Bronx and Hell’s Kitchen. She’s been making stuff up her whole life, and spent most of her teen years on endless subway rides, cutting school and scribbling stories.
When she turned 18, she worked in the Times Square peep booths and later as a fetish model and professional Dominatrix.
She sold her first short story when she moved to Los Angeles in the early 90s. After nearly 30 years in her beloved adopted city, she is currently living out her third act in the Pacific Northwest.
She’s an unapologetic pervert and a complicated queer. A Film Noir enthusiast and menopausal troublemaker. She writes primarily crime fiction, but also graphic novels and work-for-hire media tie in novels. She doesn’t plan to stop any time soon.
She also curated this very important, deeply researched and intellectually significant list of every single time Mads Mikkelsen has appeared in bondage. You know, for science!
