This? Is kind of awesome.

I get asked at least once a day if we have any books by Zane. "No," I say. "She's really popular, you'd probably have to put a book on hold."

All I knew of her until recently was that she was an amazingly popular erotica writer; and, also, that she had written twincest. And that her books are among the most stolen at our library and many other libraries.

So I was impressed by this article in the Charlotte Observer. She has a degree in chemical engineering! And her family is religious North Carolina folks: father is a Ph.D. theologian. That's courageous.

I mean, I am embarrassed about people related to me reading my writing. My writing is relatively tame and my family is not even religious.
