Holle enjoys exploring erotic fantasies and BDSM scenarios, testing the limits of power exchange in her work. She also considers herself a feminist author, concerned with sexual expression and agency of all her characters, male and female. Her introduction to BDSM was not quite as glamourous as her characters'. She worked for a time as a secretary for a Dominatrix, occasionally walking clients down to the dungeon. From this humble beginning, Holle developed an appreciation of BDSM, especially the psychological aspects.
