I’m D. C. Chayne, a writer drawn to the mechanics of power, the slip of control, and the quiet moments where desire turns dangerous. My work explores what happens when ordinary lives drift into darker territory, shaped by pressure, persuasion and the fantasies people rarely admit aloud.
My Novel
Released in December 2025, my debut novel Marcia’s Debt drags its characters into a world shaped by pressure, persuasion and the slow, deliberate stripping away of control.
You can step inside that world here, with direct links below to the Kindle and paperback editions on Amazon.
My Journey into Self-Discovery
For years I carried parts of myself in silence. Questions, desires and curiosities that never fitted the version of me I showed the world. Eventually the act of hiding became heavier than the fear of exploring. Writing was the doorway that let those hidden pieces breathe. Through fiction I found a voice that felt honest, unapologetic and strangely freeing.
Now I write the worlds I once kept locked away.
My Stories
If you’re curious to explore more of my work, the Stories section gathers a series of short, self-contained pieces that trace the same shadows found in my novel. Each one offers a quick, intense glimpse into the dynamics of power, tension and desire that shape the worlds I write.
