Fine. Here is the list of orgasms and authors

Stephen did pretty well on his guesses!
He wrote

1. Moby-Dick by Hermann Melville
2. The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
3. One of the Left Behind books by Tim Le Haye (they all seem to be the same to me)
4. The Well of Loneliness by Radcliffe Hall
5. Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
6. The Virginian by Owen Wister
7. The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
8. The Ballad of the Sad Café by Carson McCullers

All from the unexpurgated versions, of course

ALMOST Stephen. It was actually The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by McCullers. I went for authors' most popular works, see. Oh and seven? Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Or maybe Godless by Ann Coulter, which is number one at Amazon, God help us all. (talk about real pornography.)

Anyway, no way anyone can do better than Stephen's guesses. So the other set of real answers are. . . .

1 Joy Nash--romance
2 Bonnie Dee--erotica (I think. Could be romance.)
3 Robin Schone--erotica (it's the woman's 10th? 11th? orgasm that night)
4 Karen Monk--romance
5 Summer Devon--erotica
6 Lori Foster--erotica
7 Kate Rothwell--romance

(All of the romances are historical.)

update one: Hmm. Maybe I'll go put this list on the comments section of that post so you know what the heck I'm talking about.

update two: While Stephen did a fine job of guessing some answers, I'd say FIONA did the best job of guessing the real answers.

    Have you ever read Moby Dick? I never made it through the whole thing, but I do remember laughing uncontrollably over that bit near the beginning where Ish and Queequeg are bunked in the same small room. What a classic of repressed homoeroticism!

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
