I had to look at this story in Publisher's Weekly a few times to make sure I read it correctly, but yes it's true. Romance novel writer Maya Banks has just been signed to a SEVEN-figure deal to do an erotic trilogy. It's totally different than "50 Shades of Gray".
"The series follows three men, and business partners, who Penguin said "dominate in both the boardroom and the bedroom." Each book--Fever is scheduled for April 2013 and Burn for August 2013--will follow one of the men as he finds love."
See? Totally different. This one is about three men. That makes it three times better.
I guess I can spill the news now. My erotic trilogy is in the works too. It's called "50 Shades of Eggshell" and it involves a dominating hero named Benjamin Moore. His antics in the bedroom are incredibly kinky. When Ben comes around, he makes the ladies shake his can, cover the bed in plastic, and tape up the floorboards.
You'll have to read all three books (the others are called "Fifty Shades of Navajo White" and "Fifty Shades of Antique White") to get the full story.
