trigger warnings

Here are the Content Notes for all my books, taken directly from the published texts.

Bear in mind that if I say a certain bit of info is a spoiler, I mean it's an actual spoiler. If you can, please avoid reading it for the best experience.

Got any questions? If you need me to go into detail about anything or you want to make sure a particular trigger isn't in a book, email me at vee@veedebras.com. I want to help.

Tied to Heaven

This is the story of a nonbinary person struggling with Catholicism-rooted queerphobia, both external and internalized.

This is also the story of a nonbinary person who loses his virginity to a many-eyed, many-tongued angel on a church’s altar.

If any of this would upset you, please take care of yourself and don’t continue reading.

Though no blood is actually drawn, some gory images and metaphors are used in an erotic context, and there is a brief mention of animal trapping. There is also a minor character who has dementia and isn’t treated kindly by their family.

Because I’m more familiar with the Old Testament than my friends wish I was, I also feel obligated to say that the God the angel talks about in this story isn’t necessarily the biblical one, but rather a version of Him that suits my heart better.

PS. Jonah uses exclusively he/him pronouns.

Tied to the Waves

This book is meant for a mature audience and contains sensitive material, including but not limited to:

Bad relationship with parents, graphic sex, mention of internalized racism, mentions of drowning, murder, off-page sexual abuse and rape (not by the love interest), off-page violent death of parents, past suicide attempts, transphobia, use of a slur against a disabled person.

These are listed in alphabetical order and not in order of relevance. Take care!

Tied to Hell

Before you start reading, I want to make sure you know that this book has explicit sex scenes and that the love interest is a trans man. He is also a demon, and as such he will do some fucked up things to the main character at the beginning of the book (not sexual assault).

Also, the disabled main character will NOT magically stop being disabled, though he will find some magical relief from his chronic pain.

In case you want a non-exhaustive list of potentially triggering topics for this book, here it is. Read at your own risk, as some may be considered spoilers.

A trans person misgendering themself, ableism (both external and internalized), discussions about drug addiction and overdose, graphic sex, mentions of past sexual assault (not to or by the main couple), mentions of past bullying and murder, suicide jokes and suicidal ideation, tampering with meds (done by the love interest), transphobia, and violence against a pregnant person that leads to a miscarriage.

Tied to Life

Two things about this book before you get into it.

First, Tied to Life is meant for a mature audience and contains sensitive material, including but not limited to:

A character being the result of an unwanted pregnancy, beheading, deadnaming, explicit sex scenes, homophobia (external and internalized), on-page violence against animals, parent-child verbal and physical abuse, pressure to medically transition, self-harm (scratching), terminal illness of a pet, and transphobia (external and internalized).

Second, the cat.

The whole premise of Tied to Life is that the main character wants to save his dying cat. Whether he manages to do it is literally the biggest spoiler I could give you, but I know some people just need to know if the cat will be all right, so I’m going to answer that question now.

If you can go into the book without knowing and trust that whatever happens is what’s best for the story, I’m begging you to turn the page now and not read the next paragraph.

Okay, hopefully only the people who absolutely need to know are still here. Here’s the spoiler: the cat will be all right in the end, but only in the end. She’s going to be very sick and die violently on-page, and then she will return to life and live happily ever after with the main couple.
