I...I've seen spoofs on 50 shades. Funny Stuff. <br />I saw your comment on my blog about newsletters. I do think newsletters are important to connect with readers. I recently attended a readers conference and the group was asked to raise their hands if they read or visit blogs, not one rose their hand. Something else to consider, you can get email addresses at books signings or other events. This is a great chance to send out release notices and such. I actually don't have a newsletter sign up on my blog, but I have a newsletter I send out quarterly.

If you don't like it, don't read it. So I was just rolling my eyes and wondering why some "kinks" seem to be okay and others aren't.

If people aren't punished in this life then in my opinion, they get away with it. So it's very important to punish people in this life.<br /><br />@Clarissa: That's such a great idea. I recently read a very short snippet from author Elise Fallson that kind of does that. In other words, it's two bugs making fun of all human sexuality.
