Oh yeah, I’m also known by the name on my DL: Violet Augustine. I’m an author, indie director, mother of a trans girl, and musician of the experimental variety.

You can read my other ruminations in the form of fiction, CNF, and poetry, or hear my experiments in sound & voice sometimes called music, at adultpapers.com.
