Well for one, we're all adults with fantasies and secretly enjoy a little spice in our lives. There's nothing wrong with it and many authors write that type of material under a different pen name, me included. I do love standard writing, but occasionally I like to steer off the beaten path, plus it's the largest selling genre these days, and always has been. (less)

What sells a book?

Personally, I have no idea how authors can even make enough these days to go to Starbucks and celebrate a newly finished novel. Everyday in my emails and Twitter I get lambasted with "Free E-books," "Sign up for our daily free E-books," "Free E-books for you," and etc,,,simply showing that us, as Authors, are practically begging people to read our hard work; so desperate we are giving it away.
