Poppy Lee

Poppy Lee is a writer with a vengeance. She writes erotic romance with a critical eye, a dirty mind, and the audacity to think she can remake the genre. Her work explores desire, intimacy, and pleasure while dismantling what we've been taught to want. She lives on the Great Lakes, untamed and unrepentant.

Melter of limbs, lover of men and women alike. Mediterranean by heritage, American by family, writer by profession. First published in the late 2000s, indiscriminate heretic ever since.
