I'm Number Nine! I'm Number Nine!
No, I'm not angling to be the next heroine in that series by Pittacus Lore.
Just wanted to point out a fun list of books that has been developed by an author who was seeking to promote her books to readers who were in a collective puddle of goo over a particular series that, while it has many of us who enjoy well written books shaking our heads, is not a bad locomotive to hitch one's erotic romance novels to in hopes of snagging some readership eyeballs.
(excuse me while I cock my ear to the sound of at least 2 of my editors having a mild seizure over that last sentence…..ok. I'm good now)
The "What to Read After 50 Shades of Grey" started in 2012 as a Facebook page intended to promote this author's books as well as any others. Pretty good idea, that.
I was notified that my book FLOOR TIME, the 1st of the "Jack and Sara trilogy" that later morphed into the 9-book Stewart Realty series was #1 for a while. Its subsequent installments -- SWEAT EQUITY and CLOSING COSTS -- also made the list but Floor Time was one that lots of the quivering newbie BDSM fans of Christian Grey found a suitable "next read."
Jack Gordon is not Mr. Grey. (I laugh to think what he would say about him, frankly). Nor is his counterpart, Sara Thornton anything like whatshername (sorry, I did not make it very far into the first book but that does NOT mean you are a bad person if you loved them. I'm all for books that make you need near constant alone time in your bedroom).
However, enough dewey 50 Shades recovering addicts have purchased this first book (and many have gone on to read and enjoy the rest of the series) and have recommended it to others so that in a recent posting, the "WTRAFSOG" Top 50 of All Time list shows FLOOR TIME at #9.
Not too shabby. Although I would say that if you are seeking something exactly like "FSOG" you might ought to read through some of my reviews and make that call. It's not like that book. At all. But it is a pretty compelling and (at times) sexy look into the lives of two grown up people with distinct (and I'm told sometimes annoyingly selfish) personalities as they navigate the waters of a deepening relationship. There is a BDSM element to it. But it's just that: "an element." It is not the entirety of their connection by any means.
So, I thank Summer Daniels for coming up with such an ingenious way to find readers for her books and that she was wiling to open it up to the rest of us!

NOTE: The first 3 books (Floor Time/Sweat Equity/Closing Costs) will be re-released on February 14 (naturally) as a print anthology with a BEAUTIFUL new cover.

There will be a fun exclusive peek at a sexy deleted scene from within the trilogy on that edition as well….join the Jack and Sara fun, won't you?
Happy Reading,
Liz
