Authors

Sonia Devereaux
Author · 1 books

Sonia Devereaux started writing when she was eight years old. She would spend all day writing stories about the misadventures of a cat, dog, and cow and then illustrate them to create her own stapled books. Eventually she progressed to the more sophisticated tales of a kangaroo named Penelope and an alligator named Gus. Today, thankfully, she's given up on the furries and their escapades and graduated to stories filled with unconventionally sexy men and their dramatic experiences. Sonia and her husband spend their free time together watching anime, laughing with their friends, and gossiping. It's probably a good thing that Sonia knows, works with, and meets an assortment of entertaining people. Because being the good and sometimes eager listener that she is, she is often reminded that fact is stranger than fiction, which is almost certainly why she likes to read and write stories that have a lot of excitement and make her smirk out loud.

Marguerite has been accused of being eccentric and a shade neurotic, both of which she freely admits to, but her muse has OCD tendencies, so who can blame her? Her husband and son do an excellent job keeping her toeing the line, though. Together with her co-author Fae Sutherland, Marguerite has found a shared passion for beautiful men with smart mouths. When she's not working hard on writing new material and editing completed work, she spends her time reading novels of all genres, enjoying role-playing games with her equally nutty friends, and trying to plot practical jokes against her son and husband. Her son is learning the tricks too quickly and likes to retaliate. You'd think she'd learn.
