"White Christmas"?

White Christmas?

Okay, I know the Christmas Holiday season is over but I could not resist sharing this with everyone. While sending eCards to family and friends (using PixApple, of course) I used a version of 'White Christmas' I had recently added to the 'music choices' on PixApple.  I confess that I had not listened to the complete file. I soon…

Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing

MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago. The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that.
