About Christa

Counterclockwise from top: First grade class at PS 98 (Faust is 2nd row, 3rd from right,) teen Faust wearing an old captains’s hat she found and being very cool with lots of friends and a hot girlfriend who goes to a different school so you wouldn’t know her, and Mistress Christa in the meatpacking district circa 1993.

 Christa Faust (she/they) grew up in New York City, in the Bronx and Hell’s Kitchen. They’ve been making stuff up their whole life, and spent most of their teen years on endless subway rides, cutting school and scribbling stories.

When they turned 18, they worked in the Times Square peep booths and later as a fetish model and professional Dominatrix.

They sold their first short story when they moved to Los Angeles in the early 90s. After nearly 30 years in their beloved adopted city, they are currently living out their third act in the Pacific Northwest.

They are an unapologetic pervert and a complicated queer. A Film Noir enthusiast and menopausal troublemaker. They write primarily crime fiction, but also graphic novels and work-for-hire media tie in novels. They don’t plan to stop any time soon.

They also curated this very important, deeply researched and intellectually significant list of every single time Mads Mikkelsen has appeared in bondage. You know, for science! 

With Full Sized Mads Mikkelsen and 12 Inch Mads.
