I was glad Shanna Germain was confronted by a Facebook ‘friend,’ who responded to her erotica writing success with these scathing words,
“I think it is pretty vain considering all the starving, homeless, abused people in this world. I would be excited if you wrote a novel that inspired people to unite for a greater cause – but not one that simply satisfies a primal urge in every species.”
Please read the entire post on Shanna’s blog. It is a wonderful defense for writing about sex.

Write on! I mean, right on!
I wonder if the person who was unhappy with the book has ever heard the phrase:
‘Make Love, Not War?”
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Susana. Sometimes it takes the negative experiences to remind me of my own fierceness.
All the best, s.
