Penny Armstrong
Role: Letters Girl
I input names and addresses for the mailing list. Occasionally I cause typos. Not very many, though, as I am also a writer. I’ve just published a book called London Leather, which is a serious literary novel about the London BDSM scene. As well as having some explicit – and accurate – kink in it, it follows four people through their real lives and explodes some of the sillier myths about who we are and what we do. At time of writing it’s only available for Kindle from Amazon (search ‘Penny Armstrong, London Leather’) but hopefully there will be a paperback soon.
