Extremely Brief Bio
G’day and welcome. I’m Cheyenne Blue. I mainly write erotica, but other things creep in from time to time depending on what jumps into my head. I also write as Maggie Kinsella and Charles LeDuc.
I live in Ireland (at the moment) but that will change soon. I love to cook, I love to run, play tennis, travel, hike, and be outdoors with a dog. All of those things creep into my stories from time to time.
