Yes, There Actually Is Such A Thing As "Sasquatch Erotica"
A tweet I just saw from Matthew Ingram:
@mathewi MT @knitgrrl: That lady who writes Sasquatch erotica for Kindle is pulling down $30,000 a month. I think I have made life mistakes...
It's for real. Eric Spitznagel writes for Business Insider about author Virginia Wade's success:
"Cum For Bigfoot" wasn't an overnight best-seller. "The first month, I think I made $5," Wade admits. But over the course of 2012, the book was downloaded well over 100,000 times. "And that was just Amazon," she says. "That's not counting iTunes or Barnes & Noble or any of the other places that sell self-published books." With no marketing muscle, no bookstore tours or print reviews or any of the publicity that most top authors use to sell books, she started bringing in staggering profits. During her best months, she says, she netted $30,000 or more. At worst, she'd bank around six grand -- "nothing to complain about," she says.
In the word of Charlie Brown, "sigh."

I'm in the wrong line of work, apparently.
Could someone remind me why, exactly, I went to college?

I think the real question should be whether any of your readers have downloaded it via Amy's Mall, :-)

Hot, slutty sorority chicks.
Oh, if only! When (and where) I was in school, it was three dudes for every chick.

I'm not at all sure I'd really want to know that...

No the real question is with all the free erotica sites why people would pay.

Remember that 2008 Bigfoot hoax in Georgia that, for some reason, got a bit more publicity than usual? I remember that the reporters were HIGHLY annoyed at being forced to attend.

For some reason, the snopes article doesn't show up - but I know snopes covered it.
One of the pranksters was Matt Whitton - a police officer. Naturally, he got fired when his boss found out - after all, he lied on national TV.

This reminded me of a client at a place I used to work, a Native American guy, whose half-brother's great grandmother was a bigfoot. It kind of made me wonder about his great grandfather.

I used to edit erotic ebooks as a part-time job several years ago ... it was for a publishing company that just churned them out. What was amazing to me was not only how much some of their top-selling authors made, but how good they were at knowing which fetishes would sell best -- one of the top-selling authors wrote ONLY about polyamorous werewolves, for example.

This does not surprise me when you consider the old saying about those with big feet also have big you know what . . .

"those with big feet also have big you know what"
You can say 'shoes'. Amy likes shoes. It's okay.
