1) Would you object to other people calling your work erotica? No. 2) Would you object to other people calling your work pornography? No. 3) Approximately how many books (novella or longer) have you published? Published, as in, available at a (online) bookstore? Two. Published, as in, posted at my Website? Fourteen. 4) With how many different publishers? I'm self-published, but two of my novellas appeared in a magazine originally. (One.) I'm also published in various places as a nonfiction writer, but those were short pieces. 5) Have you published in ebook format? If so are you basically satisfied, or dissatisfied with your epublishing experiences? Dissatisfied, but mine wasn't a typical experience; my stories were simultaneously available free online. 6) Are you published with a large commercial press (e.g. one that pays an advance over $1000 and produces offset print runs)? If you are not, is this kind of publishing one of your career goals? No and no. 7) Do you like Poser covers? Yes, no, sometimes? Do you like mantitty covers? If so, with or without chest hair? Good lord, woman, I'm not going to bare to the world the secrets of what type of chests turn me on. :) I'll say, though, that I haven't seen enough Poser covers to make an assessment of them, and I judge sexy covers and non-sexy covers in the exact same way: by whether they're well done and appropriate for the book. 9) What romance/erotica blog to you read most frequently? (Not including EREC). orig_slavefic and origslash_news. Not dedicated exclusively to romance/erotica, but a lot of stories in that category are linked there. 10) What erotic romance sub-genre do you think might be the next big thing? I've no idea. I don't read erotic romance. :) I'm assuming you mean professionally published fiction. If you're including amateur fiction . . . orig_slavefic showed that there's a readership for original slash/het/gen subgenre communities. I expect to see more of those popping up. The current trend (for the last couple of years) has been away from slash-only subgenre communities; instead, subgenre communities have been formed that accept all types of stories: slash, het, and gen. I expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future.

1) Would you object to other people calling your work erotica? God, I hope they will! 2) Would you object to other people calling your work pornography? Not in the least. 3) Approximately how many books (novella or longer) have you published? Not a one. 4) With how many different publishers? See the above answer. 5) Have you published in e-book format? If so are you basically satisfied, or dissatisfied with your e-publishing experiences? Have to try. Would like to give it a go. 6) Are you published with a large commercial press (e.g. one that pays an advance over $1000 and produces offset print runs)? If you are not, is this kind of publishing one of your career goals? No I am not. And not really. 7) Do you like Poser covers? Yes, no, sometimes? ????? (I’m sucha’ Newbie) Do you like mantitty covers? If so, with or without chest hair? Mantitty???? (dear lord, what fresh hell have I stumbled into?) 9) What romance/erotica blog to you read most frequently? (Not including EREC). Don’t have one yet. 10) What erotic romance sub-genre do you think might be the next big thing? Gay Science Fiction Inter-Galactic Hook-Up Action!!! Yeah!!!

1) Would you object to other people calling your work erotica? Not at all. 2) Would you object to other people calling your work pornography? Depends on the context and the person saying it. Generally speaking, no. 3) Approximately how many books (novella or longer) have you published? One novel (publisher has closed and it’s being republished). One short that’s probably not long enough to be a novella. 4) With how many different publishers? Two that are still in business. 5) Have you published in ebook format? If so are you basically satisfied, or dissatisfied with your epublishing experiences? Yes. I’ve had a really bad experience and a really good experience. 6) Are you published with a large commercial press (e.g. one that pays an advance over $1000 and produces offset print runs)? If you are not, is this kind of publishing one of your career goals? I’m not published with a publisher like that, but it’s very high on my goal list. 7) Do you like Poser covers? Yes, no, sometimes? I don’t know what those are. LOL! 8 ) Do you like mantitty covers? If so, with or without chest hair? Without. In general, I prefer drawn covers over photographed. 9) What romance/erotica blog to you read most frequently? (Not including EREC). I read a lot of blogs. Out of concern of offending someone, I won’t name them. I don’t want anyone to feel like I’m snubbing them. 10) What erotic romance sub-genre do you think might be the next big thing? I think there’s going to be a rise in the m/m/f sub-genre as traditional m/f readers sample m/m themes.
