Hello, I’m John Kostly, but you may know me better by my pen name, “Kostly”. For the past twenty-five years, I’ve been deeply involved in the BDSM and Polyamorous lifestyle, not just as a participant but also as a passionate advocate, educator, and writer. My journey is one that has spanned continents, crossed barriers, and broken stereotypes, all while fostering a deep understanding of this subculture. I have a rich background, including a background in psychology and extensive experience in human sexuality.
My passion for writing began as a personal quest to improve my English, but it quickly became so much more. It became a platform for me to share my experiences, educate, and advocate for a lifestyle that is often misunderstood and misrepresented.
In addition, I fell in love with the content and story within the Priceless Gemstones Series. I think it is special, and have tried to do everything I can to make it that. I hope you enjoy it.
Today, I continue to write, to explore, and to advocate. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my experiences and insights with you through my books. My goal is to demystify BDSM, to highlight its depth and complexity, and to show that at its core, it’s really about love, trust, and intimate connection.
