Loser literary “agents” and the people who love them.

A while ago I posted this:

I work for a small press specializing in sex-positive erotica. We do not accept any unsolicited novel submissions. ALD [ALD Literary Agency (Leonid Dubizhansky)] sent [Circlet] a book called “How to Hate Sex With Primordial Innocence.” Losers.

An astute Googler dug up this post and wrote me:

I break 100!

Yesterday I broke 100 recorded hits on my blog for the first time. Unfortunately, they were all looking for FaceBook.

Labels are for Cans

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, this news report says that autism and Asperger’s will be conflated in the next DSM. I think this is a good thing. I’m tired of people thinking that Asperger’s is a ‘mild form of autism.’ They are the same disorder with slightly different manifestations. An autie’s lack of language skills can make the disorder to worse to people around him, whereas having the speech abilities that auties lack just makes my life as an Aspie miserable. No one can see that there’s anything different about me, and aren’t interested in explanations counter to what they expect to see.

Furthermore, Asperger’s has managed to get less ’stigma’ than autism. Let us Aspies give the auties a leg up in that department.

G-Spot found in France!

I realize that this story has been fairly visible for a few days and many people have already read it. But it was so darned funny I had to share just in case someone missed it and the opportunity to have their clinical depression cured by laughing at sex research.

Yes, we have no zombies

As many visitors know, I don’t write zombie erotica. What you may not know is that since I mentioned it once, an astonishing number of hits every day are from people looking for zombie porn, who then go away disappointed.

I have some news that zombie erotica fans will love. Here’s a book just for you.

NSFW Video of Lucy Lawless

I swear, this clip looks exactly like someone cribbed it from one of a historical “romance.” Watch with sound off for best effect.

Sex in the news

There’s sex in the news all the time, but this is a bit more newsworthy than most.  The Boston Globe has an article on polyamory. I think I know most of the people interviewed in it.

Porn with Zombies!

Circlet Press just released a paranormal romance with werewolves and zombies:

Janey Hyde is fighting to keep her people alive in a Manhattan ravaged by zombies. Seamus, the leader of a werewolf pack also on the island is doing the same. Will an alliance between them be the salvation of their tribes? Or is the intense attraction they feel for each other going to be their downfall? Exploring love, lust, war, and politics, ALPHA is the debut novel from writer Molly Maddox. Seamus’s pack isn’t ready to accept a human in their midst, and attracted to him as she is, Janey isn’t sure she’s ready to submit to an alpha male when it could undermine her authority with her own people. But there is more at stake than her pride and his principles, and only by working together will they find a future.
