About Vixen
Vixen is a French-Canadian writer, director, and entrepreneur known for his unapologetic storytelling, dark wit, and sharp insights into human nature. Drawing from a tumultuous past as an escort, his work is raw, compelling, and impossible to ignore.
His debut novel, Rent Boy, based on his personal experiences in the escort world, has built a dedicated following of over 30,000 readers since its launch, solidifying his voice as a bold and unfiltered force in modern literature. With discussions of Rent Boy flooding social media, Vixen is now developing the novel into a feature film, bringing his signature mix of humor, grit, and emotional depth to the screen.
As a filmmaker, his award-winning short film, L’ARPÈGE, has received multiple accolades on the festival circuit, including Best Soundtrack (Reale Film Festival), Best Women’s Short Film (UIFF 2020), and a Jury Award (UIFF 2020). His screenplays have been finalists in top-tier competitions, including the Austin Film Festival, Fast Track Fellowship, and Screencraft, and have been featured on Coverfly’s prestigious Red List.
Beyond books and film, Vixen is the creator of Erethereal, a brand that blends tarot, witchcraft, and shadow work with a gothic, high-end aesthetic. His Wonderland Shadows Tarot Deck and Obsidian Veil Oracle Deck have become cult favorites, cementing his influence in the spiritual and metaphysical space.
Whether on the page, on screen, or in the shadows of the unknown, Vixen’s work dares to embrace the light within the shadows, uncovering beauty in the darkest places.
