Philomena MacKinnon

Philomena writes erotica that makes you laugh before it makes you blush. Her sentient-object roster so far includes a self-service checkout machine, a sailboat and an MRI — and when she's not romancing appliances, she's writing platypus shifters, Nessie and the occasional caveman. She takes premises that ought to be absurd and plays them entirely straight, which is, of course, the joke. Hugely popular. Absolutely unembarrassed.
