My Granny Writes Erotica Gets 100 Reviews
My Granny Writes Erotica is my first book to reach 100 reviews, and it's maintained a 4.5 star average.
When I first published the novella, I expected it to get mixed reviews, not because I wasn't pleased with it - I am - but because it's comedy, which is very subjective. It's very silly and I know from past publications, such as Pompomberry House, that many readers find silly books tiresome and are unafraid to say so it critical reviews.
"It was unrealistic!" bleat reviewers of Pompomberry House, a book marketed as a satire.
The other reason for expecting mixed reviews is that the more readers you attract, the further they get from your hardcore fan base. Your first few readers are generally those who buy everything you write as soon as you publish it, and that's reflected in early rave reviews. But as time goes by, other people start to read it, and the ratings drop.
It's fair to say that I'm stunned and delighted by the response to My Granny Writes Erotica. In fact, the response was so overwhelming that it moved me to write two sequels, to make it up to the length of a novel. I will publish it for Kindle and in paperback later this year. Look out for My Granny Writes Erotica - Threesome.
