His stories are above the average in being convincing / realistic (as in the psychology of the characters), and he even has a moderate amount of talent in crime / SF / horror plots. You can find his e-books on sites like Amazon and Smashwords, but be warned - most of them are about sexual domination (of females by males or by other females).
Here's an interview with him (again, be warned - there are some nude pics here, his book covers) :

where he kind of explains the psychology of people who read his books and why they read them...
He's a really funny guy :
I do admit, however, my greatest publishing success has been with erotica and pornography.
Q: Why is that, do you think?
A: I'm just particularly perverted, I suppose.
or :
Q: Are you a perv?
A: Oh hell yes. But I think most of us are. Especially men. We've been taught to have less inhibitions about sex than women. I think a lot of women would be absolutely horrified if they had any idea what that nice fellow who sits across from them on the bus was thinking, or what their best friend's husband fantasizes about them, or even what mental images their brothers or husbands have masturbated to. Here's a clue for women. If you're at all attractive, many, many men have day dreamed about having wild, kinky nasty sex with you, schoolmates, your girlfriends' husbands or boyfriends, guys you barely know from work or school, guys you stand at the bus stop with. In their minds you've been naked at their knees, bent over, chained up, ****ing their wives or girlfriends - or goat. We guys have these kinky little porn movies running in our heads a lot, and anyone can be our co-star!
If a woman has an attractive sister or girlfriend she can be pretty sure her husband or boyfriend has directed a little porn feature in his mind featuring her, and probably all three of them together.
What a connoisseur of the male and female mind...
Read and learn, girls...

Been there, done that...
Now a question on the side, has anyone here read a pure porn book / story (one where sex doesn't serve the plot but the plot serves the sex and the purpose of the book is to arouse rather than entertain in the classic sense) and found themselves carried away by the non-sex plot (such as a fight against crime) and wished that the same author wrote another book only about that and without the sex (even though you started reading it because of the sex) ?
I found some sex stories really interesting and entertaining in a non-sexual way (I even found one touchingly romantic)... One such was about some Roman soldier who became a werewolf - I've never read such a great description of what it would be like to actually be a werewolf. Another one was about a female FBI agent fighting white slavery, the end with a shootout at a beachhouse reminded me of Hollywood cop shows, or even the white-ninja-hero short novels I used to read as a kid...
That's kind of ironic, starting to read something as smut and liking it for it's plot...
