Top Five Posts for December 2009

How did your Christmas go?  Too much turkey?  I overdosed on eggnog and spiced rum — with a vengeance.  :)  But the haze that resulted produced some interesting story ideas, so I guess there was an upside.  You can certainly understand why Victorian writers were so in love with the effects of Absinthe, the “artiste’s muse.”  If it had even half the effect Captain Morgan had on my stock of story possibilities for the new year, it was no wonder they were all addicted to the green stuff.

And as the snow stops drifting across my blog (I’ll actually miss it!), it’s time to recap on the last month.

From least to most popular of the top five for December, 2009:

5.  Erotic Romance e-Publishers

4. Denise Agnew Eats ‘em Alive – Maneater Goes to E-book

3. Alan Elsner Thinks Romance Novels are Porn. I Wonder What He’d Make of Erotic Romance Then?

2. Four Excellent BDSM Sites

1. eBook Piracy. My First, Last and Only Rant — Because I Have A Damn Good Point To Make.

I hesitated about putting this one in here, as it’s sort of false advertising. The actual post that generated all the traffic is no longer there as I was forced to take it down.  Still, despite the fact that it’s no longer there, the post still managed to be the highest rating post of the month just for the 24 hours it was up on the site, which tells you how much of a fuss it created for the time it was there.  For that reason, I’m reporting it, correctly, as the #1 post for the month.    I’m hoping it’ll die an ugly death and disappear off this list next month.  As usual, I get to live my mistakes in public….
