Dear all:

SO many great comments. I guess I am just too old or something.

We definitely do not mean porn at all... but I was recently amazed when I leafed through a female erotica book we have that surprised me. I had expected kind of "soft core"... The UPS guy with rippled muscles who the woman secretly lusted for. What I found is that female erotica gets pretty specific> toys, spankings, certain rings, gags, blindfolds and more in relatively vivid detail.

Rest assured that the new website is NOT a den of roped and tied UPS guys at the hands of a dominatrix. BUT, we want to make this amenable to all interests. Yes: mystery, espionage, romance, adventures, non-fiction, needlepoint, spiritual, how-to and science fiction will all be there. In short, we will not censor anything.

Now, WHEN this certain website is released... it will not be perfect. We have a ton of eBooks on there for everything from cooking to exercising to dieting to UPS guys built like Stonehenge. I am heavily into action/adventure fiction. I love Dirk Pitt and Tom Clancy and W.E.B. Griiffon, and all that sort of genre. There will be a ton of everything on there. BUT... we will be adding to the site. I want to add eBooks from Harlequin and from "Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Books". I view this as a constant work in progress. Yes, almost all of the latest Bestsellers from the New York Times will be there. Yes, I personally monitor those New York Times lists weekly and we add those titles. Eventually, I want to go after everything from Environmental eBooks to books in langauges other than English.

Thank you, all, for the ideas.
