Great news in my inbox upon return form SRL (where I found new appreciation for safety glasses today). Sweet Life 1 and 2 are both being translated into — Italian! So wonderful, especially since I named those books after La Dolce Vita, one of my all-time favorite movies. And I also found out this week that Best Women’s Erotica 2007 is an IPPY semi-finalist for Best Erotica title, and Smart Girl’s Guide to Porn is in the running for Best Sex title. Yay! Hard work for books I’m proud of, and some recognition too.
