Magazines that offer advertising... possibly online as well as in their magazine. Gothic Beauty http://www.gothicbeauty.com I haven't looked at Gothic Beauty in the book stores yet. Advertising rates and submission information on their website. Realms of Fantasy http://www.rofmagazine.com This magazine I have seen. It focuses on fantasy but all kinds of ads were in it the month I purchases. On their website, no specific information about advertising -- only a person to e-mail for information. Romantic Times BOOKclub http://www.romantictimes.com Here is the advertising page .

Otherwise titled... Erotica vs. erotica? Mrs. Giggles recently wrote an article ( http://mrsgiggles.braveblog.com/entry/26544 ) and said that "we need more sex in romantic eroticas, romanticas, erotic romances, or whatever we call those books published by pretty much nearly every online publisher nowadays". The whole article has ideas I agree with or don't, and was an interesting read mostly because it got me thinking about... There are different types of erotica, just like there are different kinds of romance. I read the whole spectrum of romance -- from mild romance to carnal erotic romance. I also read erotica and find stories that range from the character-driven erotica to sex-sex-and-more-sex erotica. (I hesitate to call hard-core erotica by the word "smut" because some people would insist that any story that involves more than a chaste peck on the cheek smutty.) The book I'm reading right now is paranormal erotica -- House of Dark Delights by Louisa B

The Shadow by Shelley Munro . Click here for a Blurb about this story from the author's website. The Shadow is a great romantic suspense. The heroine is a cat burglar in training (in and around contemporary London), and the hero is a cop (from New Zealand). I love stories about cat burglars and jewel thieves. And, I do so love those antipodean heros. I had this picture of Russell Crowe in mind during the reading of this book. (I know that is the wrong country! But, what can I say? I'm a RC fan and I got the image going from the author's descriptions, and it stuck.) I'll admit that I had get out my dictionary to be certain what the author meant by the hero's "antipodean drawl". I guessed it had something to do with New Zealand, but we don't use the term Antipodes here in the US often.
