Larry Archer's World (LarryArcher.blog)

I released my first porn story in paperback a few years ago, more as a lark and to allow my wife to read and comment on my smut stories. Foxy, a cute Luddite, refuses to read anything longer than a text message on her phone or laptop. She is one of those people who read every word and ponder every sentence on which came first, the chicken or the egg. When you get the book back, it is often filled with notes in the margin, along with underlined and corrected verbiage. I was taught that writing in a book is a sacrilege against the laws of nature. So, it’s typically with chagrin when she returns a smut story after reading it.

Her comments are insightful and mostly on point, but I can’t seem to get her to read electronic stories. She has a laptop, iPad, and tablet, but nothing seems to work, and I’ve pretty much given up.

Initially, I had serious reservations about any ROI on printed smut stories. I wasn’t convinced that the additional time and effort would be rewarded in sales. But, once again, I fear I’m about to eat my words.
