What sells better than my fiction? 1st Edition

I'll admit, a lot of the problem is my own fault. Even with all the advertising I do online when I'm not working two jobs and in school, there's only so much audience I can reach. I make my own book covers, which aren't exactly the most impressive things in the world. Also it's been ten months since I've published anything. Although Necromantica is right around the corner one thing I've noticed, for all you indy authors out there, the more often you publish, the more your sales increase. Having something new to advertise on Twitter, Facebook, and all the other social media sites is always a good thing.



But sometimes it's fun to see what sells better than my own fiction. Granted, that's A LOT of other stuff. But let's take a quick examination of one item in particular.



Mating With The Raptor is a seventeen page erotic short story about a warrior woman taken prisoner by a velociraptor who, from the book description, either rapes her or turns on some Al Green, opens a bottle of cheap wine, and seduces her. As the warning from the book description is quick to point out: This is not your mother's erotica.



Just out of curiosity, do your mothers often share their erotica?



Anyway, seventeen pages for $2.99. And why not? It was actually written by two authors, appearing to be part of a long standing collaboration. Some of the their other titles include:




Ravished by the Triceratops
Mounted by the Gryphon
A Weretiger in Heat
The Ride of Her Life (Centaur Beast Mating Erotica)
Riding The Dravon
Ravaged by the Hydra


They actually have 58 publications.




"Write what you know."




Anyway, I just wanted to take a moment to salute these two indy authors, Christie Sims and Alara Branwin. They have found their niche and are writing the things they love. Like, really, really love. My question: Have their considered a story about a chimera? Perhaps a trilogy? 




That said, here is a link. I especially enjoy the second review.
