Hear Jaid Black

You can hear Ellora’s Cave founder Jaid Black, cover model CJ Hollenbach and author Jane Rylon Tuesday, 7pm EDT (11pm UTC) June 2 on Blog Talk Radio’s Publishing Insiders show, hosted by Author Marketing Experts. The show is titled "It's Getting Hot in Here -- Erotica Equals Hot Books and Even Hotter Sales."


Here’s what Author Marketing Experts Inc. is saying about the show: “Steamy novels and cover boy hunks have given publishing a much-needed shot in the arm. Learn how the Erotic Romance genre is just exploding. Learn about the skyrocketing sales and the methods erotica authors and publishers use to find their audience. And -- wonder how those handsome hunks end up on the cover? We'll find out how they get there and what it's like to be on the cover of one of the hottest selling books around!”
