Oh yeesh, those books sound horrible. But then do MY romance novel ideas ring any better? ummmm... *tries to look like a serious writer*

*fails*

As for the Guardian article...what? I'm not even sure what her point was. That female writers need anonymity to write good porn? That 'erotica' is something husbands find threatening because it so often depicts adultery? That the writer feels proud about writing porn, especially since she did not use her own name? I see why authors like Susie Bright start chewing the scenery over crap like this. Nargh.
