8.     Do people actually buy your books?
a.     Yes, I’ve got the royalty checks to prove it.
9.     I could write something like this…it isn’t hard.

  3. See, I'm evil... my answer to #5 would have been "yeah, last night...WITH YOUR MOM."

    And it's not hard, huh? *raises eyebrow* Isn't that sort of a requirement for erotica? After all, if it isn't hard, I'm not interested. I'd like to see that mouthy punk keep it up as long as we have to so everyone ends up happy in the end.

  4. You left out the biggest one: When are you going to write a real book?

    I love the one about it being easy, anyone could do it.
