Y’know, I try to keep a low profile regarding all this writing biz. I figure that the person probably most interested in the ups and downs of my career is myself … and hapless J, unable to evade me for too long, unless he scrambles into the Nissan and scarpers. But, eventually, he has to return. Eventually, they all have to return …

But my friend, Amber Green (who I never write to as often as I should; sorry, Amber!) just pointed me to the Erotica Bestseller list at Fictionwise and — guys and gals — I’m at #5 with my very first release, The Commander’s Slave. Go here to have a look, but I think you have to be quick because these things probably change quite quickly.

I’m going to print out the page and am thinking of doing something tasteful with it. Covering it with gold leaf, properly embossed to bring out every typed character, perhaps. Or surrounding it with a miniature Sistine Chapel mash-up in gouache on plaster, complete with aromatheraphy votives and a looped track of the Vienna Boys’ Choir. Something simple like that. If you have any other subtle decorative ideas, feel free to add your own ideas in the Comments.
