Just too hilarious.

Scarred for life...

... I think I'll have my teen daughter read some of this.

My friend works for the publisher ...

My friend works for the publisher who published this novel, she was telling me last night how she had to do a corrections session over the phone with the author, she spend 2 hours on the phone while the author asked questions like "Do yer think the nipples should be hard or erect Kelly, what do you think would work better in that passage?".

Afterwards she felt compelled to tell everyone in her office she thought she'd just had phone sex with one of the authors...
