Christian Erotica
by Lorraine Berry
Ooooh baby. The Messiah is coming.
Snark would just be too damn easy.
Chang felt Naomi's strong fingers on either side of his neck.You're tense, she said.
Aren't you?, he said.
Relax, love. Messiah is coming.
The state of American publishing:
Says Kate Duffy, an editor at the New York publishing house, Kensington: "There are two types of books that are really selling in America these days: erotica and inspirational romance," she says. "Until recently, the Christian fiction market was one mainstream publishers found difficult to reach. But everyone in New York has also been tracking it for the past 10 years - because it's grown so quickly. And whatever we all think about the Christian right, the fact is that if we in New York only published to please ourselves, we'd all be out of business. There are books that Christians want to read - and we now want to sell them."
