Sonni de Soto
De Soto is a Builder of Worlds. Well, really, she’s a small office cog, churning away in a cubicle, who stealthily writes erotica in email drafts (so it still looks like she working).
Buy books on Amazon
She’s a kinkster, who loves and lives the lifestyle when she can, and has been since she was tying up her toys as a child. She’s read and loved erotic, kinky, romantic, fun stories for about as long as well, which probably explains her dirty, dirty mind. Here’s to putting a little more play into kink literature and to sharing real, honest love, whatever form it takes.
Thank you for reading and please enjoy! -
