The Dominatrix Next Door

Mother by day, Dominatrix by night.

When a cash-strapped single mother of two in suburban Melbourne has a fun idea to start a side hustle running workshops for hens' parties, she has no idea it will lead her on a surreal adventure (or twenty) through the debaucherous underground world of kink clubs and swingers' parties. Nor does she know that it will bring her out on the other end as one of Australia's most recognised Dominatrixes.

But how do you juggle such an extreme double life? Especially with a scorned ex-husband on your heels baying for blood, and the local school mums needing you at the bakesale on a Saturday morning?

In a tale far too extreme to have been made up, Mistress Jane has penned a memoir that is both a salacious tell-all and a love letter to Melbourne's BDSM community. Complete with celebrity encounters, exciting opportunities, and lessons in kink, love, and parenthood, she shows us how having multiple identities is not only possible, but incredible, and that some mums really are superheroes - they might just use their rope and masks in a different way than you'd expect.
