I, a woman, cannot believe so many women fell for this shit.
What's it about? A 22-year-old college student who has never had a boyfriend (understandable), intercourse (understandable), or an EMAIL ADDRESS (WTF??? This is modern-day America and she supposedly made it through college having never sent an email in her life!), meets a billionaire/philanthropist/concert pianist/helicopter pilot/self-made corporate CEO who's 26 (WTF???). Together, he tries to be her dom, despite the fact that he doesn't listen to her, doesn't take into account what will actually pleasure her (he tells her, doesn't ask her), and just beats her to assuage his own demons.
And they supposedly fall in love. I couldn't make it past book 2, where NOTHING HAPPENS.
It's one of the worst books I have ever read in my life. If people want to read erotic romance, give Maya Banks, Shayla Black, Jaci Burton, or Lorelei James a shot instead. Much better writing and much better character development. This book was so poorly written it was laughably bad.
And women everywhere bought it. I'm embarrassed for my kind...
(Think I'm just being bitter? The Amazon reviews spell it out much better than I just did.)
EDIT: Fixed the link
Yet women have no problem with it.
Once, out of morbid curiosity, I looked at the preview on Amazon. Click the "look inside" part on the left.
I couldn't stop laughing. It's that bad.
So Steam should be arbiters of what is a good game or not? Would people be happy if Amazon stop people publishing shitty barely disguised fan fiction 'asset flips'?
These developers have paid to have their game listed. I think that's perfectly fair to sell them if the consumer knows what they are getting. And if the consumer doesn't have to wade through the shit to see good games. I'm not sure what more you want Steam to do other than give people the ability to return games that are terrible and reduce the likelihood they'll try them in the first place. One person's shitty asset flip is another person's DoTA. One person's low-effort engine reuse is another person's Garry's Mod.

50 Shades depicts an outright abusive relationship. If anyone were to behave like that in real life, I would hope they'd get help or get arrested. The unofficial motto of BDSM practitioners is Safe, Sane, and Consensual. 50 Shades fails on at least one of those.
Former porn starlet Sasha Grey wrote The Juliette Society as a reaction to 50 Shades. Both in terms of the presentation of BDSM and also terms of literacy.

ARCs are the industry norm, they're used by all the top-selling authors, and Amazon accepts them as long as they're honest.
"Searching for his little boy, 11th century Viking Thorfinn lands in modern times, where he stumbles upon a dead wringer for his cheating ex-wife. Single mom Lydia Denton mourns the loss of her SEAL husband. Then she meets a man who resembles him. Despite Thorfinn’s strange accusations, Lydia finds it impossible to ignore the chemistry between them. And as she gets to know this handsome Viking, she can’t help but wonder whether two souls, separated by time, have found their way back together."
The author also writes about pirates and angels, if the viking series doesn't tickle your fancy.

Yes. Both mixed feelings and token resistance to sex are normal parts of human courtship that feminists are twisting around in order to poison heterosexual relations and wage war on men and boys.
I heard you talking on the radio show one time about how offering a little resistance and making a male lover overcome it can, sometimes, be a turn-on for you. I admire your candor. Form what I´ve seen and heard, it is my impression that there are A LOT of women who feel the same way you do.
In fact, I´d say there are 50 Shades of Women who do.
It's a Trilogy.

This abomination began life as a Twilight fanfic.
? Am i smart already?
Anne Rice's version of Sleeping Beauty takes the story to whole new level.
Fifty Shades of Grey. My wife has been reading it (it's a trilogy). As a result, we've had sex seven out of the last eight nights -- we've been married 19 years and while our sex life hasn't ever been terrible, her horniness level is peaking because of these books.
It's been derisively categorized as Mommy Porn by some, but whatever, she seems to be enjoying it and I have benefited. Too bad she's on the last book in the trilogy already.

Paid reviews are why I don't pay much attention to individual reviews, but the distribution of the ratings. Take Stephenson's Snow Crash, for example. 44 people gave it one star, but more people gave it two, and on up until 444 people gave it five stars. The distribution can be manipulated, too, but it's more difficult to because there are many honest reviewers as well.
A good distribution of ratings doesn't mean I'll like it, but at least it give me
domesome indication. Look at Fifty Shades of Grey. You either love it or hate it; I suspect I'd be in the latter.Edit: typo

Roger sips at his coffee. Steam flows out of the cheap cup into the cold air. By Roger’s reckoning, the cup of joe seems to be the only warm thing for kilometers. Trying to wrap his mind around that fact, he thinks about where he is. He’s standing before a cold building, on a cold world, moving through the cold of space. He shivers, pushing the thought aside. Before taking another sip of coffee he scans the world around him: snow, more snow, ice, and more snow. He shivers again.
The rifle hanging down to his hip jingles slightly as he puts the last hot sip of coffee to his lips; it’s the last thing that he ever does. The round that goes through his chest bursts his heart; Roger is dead before he hits the cold ground. Hot brown coffee mixes with deep red blood, melting the snow around the body.
Luck had nothing to do with the shot. The sniper had taken great care to place the bullet where it needed to go. Also, if luck had been working in the sniper’s favor, the next guard would not have rounded the corner about the time Roger’s body hit the ground.
The guard has enough time to draw up his rifle before the wall next to him is splattered with his own brain matter. No sound is heard from the shot; the only clue that would have helped someone find the shooter would be the gray silencer sticking out from atop a snowdrift more than a few kilometers away.
Ejecting the spent casing onto the ground, Riley stands up from the snow. The rifle collapses and hooks in two places on the mercenary's belt to keep it from making any noise. Being quiet and not getting caught is the name of the game. Before moving on to the building, the sniper bends back down to pick up the bullet casings, making sure that no one will know where the shots had come from. The white-gloved hand reaches down and places the shells in a pouch.
Riley is clad in white, blending in with the snow, completing the requirements for the stealthy operation. The only thing not white is the helmet’s dark visor that reflects the world around it. The armor is made for this environment; not only does it blend in, but it comes with life support that can keep a person warm in much colder weather than what it is right now. However the suit is not perfect; it puts the heavy in ‘heavy’ armor.
The snow makes soft crunching sounds as the infiltrator sinks in it. In the deepest drifts the snow covers the armor plating on the calves. It makes getting to the outpost more than a bit of a pain. But at long last the mercenary makes it.
From a holster, Riley brings to bare a stainless steel handgun. The merc’s grasp is firm on the black plastic grip, making the pistol more an extension of the arm than a separate thing. They hardly make guns like this one anymore. A cylinder holds only six rounds of .357 caliber ammo. The weapon is one of the few things in this day and age that is fully mechanical. The pistol may not have a lot of advantages over a more modern design, but Riley has reasons to like it.
As the merc moves closer to the building, the pistol never wavers from the bodies lying motionless on the ground; if they weren't dead, they would be.
Above is a sample from my first book Riley: Riley: Bad Things For The Right Reasons; that I published this week!

This beautiful pillow cover is the cheapest physical thing on my list & This kindle book is the cheapest non-physical item at 99 cents
THIS because i have been waiting forever to read this and i've wanted a kindle for a LONG time! everyone i know has one and i'm so jealous!
I really like romantic comedies but it's so difficult to find good ones because they tend to get lost amongst the serious stuff on kindle. But recently I've stumbled on enough that Kindle's gotten better at recommending them to me, which is great.
I'd recommend the following:
The good thing about the Kindle Store is that you can download and read the first few chapters before committing to buying the rest.
This is like an ultra-sexy kdrama in novel form...and they're in San Francisco...and they're not korean -_-. Same feel, though, and very similar humor. For those who don't want to click URL it's called Wallbanger by Alice Clayton.
That's actually a romance series.
Fun summer reading!
Free until the 5th!

Other than Christopher Moore's "A Dirty Job" which has been mentioned, another book you may be interested in is Dying for a Living by Kory Shrum
The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by A.N. Roquelaure (Anne Rice in reality) is amazing.

Hm. Maybe I will!
I concur that this series is one million times better than 50 Shades. Rice wrote these while in a depression after losing a child if I recall correctly and there is a lot of raw emotion in these books. They are clever and dark.
Or the series about the time traveling viking who becomes a navy seal.
Yes, the first paragraph of each section should not be indented. Look at the interior for The Girl on the Train here: http://www.amazon.com/The-Girl-Train-Paula-Hawkins/dp/1594633665/
The first line is flush, and the rest of the paragraphs of each section are indented. This is Chicago Manual of Style, just picked a best seller as it was quick to find.
220k is quite long. I'm currently editing a sci-fi book to go to publishers to get it down from 140k as that's a bit too long. (I edit for pubs and a lit agency).
If it's e-book only it's not as big of a deal, though you may have a difficult time sustaining readers for a book that long. Having said that, it seems you're pubbing independently, so you have the choice of what you would like to do. If this came across my desk for work, I would likely suggest either tightening severely (150k max) or splitting into more than one book.
happy birthday :)
The way people get publicity now is crazy!

I'm currently reading Rapture by John Shirley however my book fell apart at the pool and is now in like four different pieces :( Haven't quite figured out how to glue it back together yet. Thanks for the contest You ALL still have Zoidberg!
I don't have very many books on my book list! AHHHH This must be fixed! Tomorrow though! The cheapest on I have on there honestly is 50 Shades I know. I know. I am bad. But it is $0.22 used!
Yes! http://www.amazon.com/dp/0345803485
I need it tomorrow, so the internet might not work. If all else fails, we'll just make G&Ts in glasses for the gathering. The book is The Girl On the Train, it's pretty good, in the same vain, but not as good as, Gone Girl.
Thanks! How could I have ever allowed my devotion to the greatest piece of written literature published on the web for free since this book's Amazon reviews?

100 Ton Press just released two new books.
First: Alignment: a love story is the story of Elliott Foley, who has a farm to run, with people who depend on her. One day she backs into an old friend, and finds that it's okay for her to depend on someone, too. Only one problem — all he seems to want is her friendship. Does she want it to be more? Why couldn't it be more?
It's a romance for and about actual grown-ups, and not a Harlequin piece.
$3.99 for Kindle / $12.00 paperback from Amazon.
Second: Most people are stupid. This is self-help for the 21st century. The premise is simple: Most people are stupid. We know this, but don't take advantage of that knowledge (such a surprise!). This is a short-but-astringent guide to understanding and applying this simple rule.
$0.99 for Kindle / $8.00 paperback from Amazon.
Hi, My name is Kristen. I'd love this because sometimes, I work really double shifts at work, with a 2 or 3 hour break in between, so I don't have time to go home but have nothing to do while waiting. I rarely know when these doubles will be thrown on me, and it'd be nice if I could have a book ready to read. I like normal books, but they get damaged and torn, so I don't often carry them with me.
If I got this, I'd love "Size 12 Is Not Fat" by Meg Cabot I remember it being a funny mystery book, and I could use a few laughs.
Regardless of if I win, I just want to say thank you for doing this contest. It's really thoughtful of you.
I'll start!

Jana DeLeon’s Miss Fortune Mysteries series would a good summer read. They are very lighthearted books and get even more so as the series goes on. Fun characters.
First book is apparently free on Kindle right now.
First off, seven? Wow. I can barely manage 2 at a time!
Crappy romance, eh? Have you read the time-traveling viking navy seal romance novels?
They are totally a real thing. My ex used to read them, they are hilarious.
Very much so.
If you're a beta, you can't even talk about rape (it's "triggering" to my self-diagnosed PTSD! I once caught a gross creepy guy looking at me, EWWW! I was ALMOST RAPED! Check your privilege you male pig.) In fact, you can't talk at all. Just keep your loser mouth shut and fork over beta bucks.

i love me some funny book reviews. And one of the reasons it has sold so well is its so cheap.
He rolls his eyes and kisses his cheek. As Sam opens it up he'd see this book title. As he opened up he'd learn what the book is about. Terin smiles as he opens it.

They know their target audience.
Clearly Viking Unchained was written to appeal to teenage boys. They would love reading about a time-traveling viking falling in love with a single mom.
EDIT: It's sarcasm, people. Seriously.
