I have the pleasure (and at times sorrow) of having had to deal with some of life’s more “interesting” circumstances like parenting, divorce, re-marriage, rape, depression, anxiety, fostercare just to name a few. As much as I would have liked to been able to skip right past a few of those, I have to honestly say that they have only served in making me a stronger and more outspoken human being. Of course that is AFTER I got done feeling sorry for myself.

I do live an alternative lifestyle (called BDSM) and have therefore another more “mature” side to my writing as well. Don’t fear, everything I do is always marked (no pun intended) very clearly, so innocent eyes and minds won’t stumble where they shouldn’t.

I have been a Pagan ever since I had the genuine pleasure of meeting the most amazing, wise and loving human being anyone could ever ask for. This loving woman happened to be my then elderly Neighbor Lady who was a firm believer and practitioner of the Italian based Stregan Witchcraft. She took the time and effort to give a bit of love, attention and meaning to the life of a barely 8 / 9 Year old Girl who was no longer wanted by anyone alive. She opened my mind, to honest and forthright thinking and to never stop questioning those who wish to lay a doctrine of any sort on you.
It was also due to her influence, that I had looked into and at times sought out different religious traditions and believe systems.

My Artwork as well as my various writings, reflect not only my experiences, but the lessons life taught me at times with grace and more often then not through the school of hard knocks. I have learned over many different trials and errors, that wisdom and knowledge are not the same thing. Knowledge comes with Age, but wisdom comes with an open heart and mind that seeks to see and understand what others are too afraid to. It also comes with seeing both the ugly and the beauty in yourself, situations, lessons and people you deal with.

I speak out clearly against stupidity, ignorance, hypocrisy in myself and others, as well as for open minded thinking that is not afraid to question everyone and everything, including ones self.

I hold children sacred, the elderly who deserve it in respect, and believe that just because something is right for me, doesn’t make it automatically true for you and vice versa.

I love mythology, fantastical creatures, reading, writing and spending time in the great outdoors. Now if there is more you would like to know about me, you will just have to start reading my Books, my Articles or my dozens of Blogs all over the Internet.

I make my living strictly out of my house via my various entrepreneurial ventures, book sales, art sales and online counseling sessions.

I write, draw and counsel under the Aliases:
Erotic Artisan, slave eva, Goddess Bella Donna, Mysteria and Shalamar
as well as my former Name: Regina Kamrud

Due to me being a new Name my books are self published via the Print on Demand Company Lulu.com

Thank you for visiting and reading.

Respectfully (well most of the time)
