Dean Robert Holmes

Dean Robert Holmes (he/him) is an aegosexual transmasculine author/artist who uses creativity to manage schizoaffective disorder and fibromyalgia. As a baddie fatty teeming with autism, he makes a point to represent his communities and believes strongly in the healing potential of kink. Like many alphabet porn purveyors, he started in the wonderful world of fan fiction by crafting stories with heat, hurt, and heart. After writing over 350 fan fics and a feature on the celebrated podcast Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, he self-published his first collection of short stories, “Unlocked: Seven Titillating Tales of Gay Trans Love and Lust.” His debut novel, “Treading Water” is a high heat/heavy angst/happy ending contemporary queer romance, available in several independent bookstores and wherever you get your smut online. He lives on stolen Dakota/Anishinaabe land, also known as St. Paul, MN, and enjoys spending time with his lovely partner, Mae. Right now, he’s likely scouring the ground for rocks or cobbling together That Angsty Queer Stuff filled with mental ills and sexual thrills for your reading pleasure.
