Imagine my surprise when I heard from my Berkley publicist that my upcoming project, BECAUSE YOU ARE MINE was mentioned in the 7/9 TIME magazine. If you get a chance, check it out while you’re at the grocery store. Here’s a blurb:
For further proof, ask publishers of erotica and “romantica,” which adds graphic, often S&M-tinged sex to traditional romance-novel formulas. These books have spiked sharply in popularity since Fifty Shades fever hit this spring, suggesting that for readers new to erotica, James’ work isn’t a one-off experiment but a gateway drug. Sylvia Day’s Bared to You—an erotic, decidedly Grey-toned tale of obsession that, like Fifty Shades, was originally self-published—has been climbing the New York Times best-seller list. Its publisher, Berkley Books, has also green-lit Beth Kery’s Because You Are Mine, an erotic e-book serial that will launch in July.
The actual date for the first installment (part) for this book is 7/31. I’ll have much more to tell you about it next week, when the links go live and I can show off my eight beautiful covers!

OH, Congrats! I hope they have that serial up for pre-order because you know with all the press surrounding both 50 shades and Bared to You fans of those books will be looking for their next fix 🙂 I’m sure they are going to love it because your books are tops!

I respect tremendously, Sylvia Day and Ms. James but your books are always amazing, paranormal, contemporary, vampire, all of them are simply awesome. I have all your books. Ms, James, when it comes to erotica, you can take some example from Ms. Kery.
I can’t wait for the new installments!!!!!!!!
