What To Read After Fifty Shades of Grey discussion

Hello everyone. I know that this is Summer's group but I feel like since there is such a large community of members here (and I'm sure plenty of other followers of her facebook page) we should have a welcome forum just to introduce ourselves and say hello. Oh, and remember to go and submit your book for the facebook page (if you are an author) here: http://submissions.whattoreadafter50s... .

I'll start. I'm Michael Stephenson. I am an author of many genres and the author of the literary fiction erotica A Negotiation of Wounds (Negotiation Series, #1. I like good story and find that good characters in a good story always make a lasting impression on us more than most other things.

Hi all,
My name is Ivanhoe Jones and I am the author of The Escort Wife. I decided to write my first novel after over two decades in the clinical health field. My passion is the human spirit and because sexuality is our most intimate area of connection it fascinates me greatly. I have joined this group to become aware of what other authors in this genre are doing, and I would be interested to hear from anyone who likes - like me - the idea of mixing spirituality, human insight and sexuality together into the one book.

Hello, Ivanhoe. Hello, Jane. Welcome to the group everyone. Check out the few other topics that we have and don't be afraid to make your own topic. Also, make sure you check out Summer's facebook page for more books and check for any fun polls and what have you. The more you participate the more you can get out of it.

Hi I'm Angela. I loved fifty shades and have read many similar books since. Love this genre and looking forward to getting many more suggestions.

Hello All!
My name is Hannah Smith, I live in northern VT, USA. I'm 33 with two beautiful daughters. I'm a work and book-aholic! I just love getting lost in a story! I read almost everything, BDSM, Erotica, Fiction, some NA and YA as long as the reviews are good and i can gather there is a plot... I love great writing and good flow.. I also love to cook, music, dance, history and religious studies although I'm not a partaker. I hated reading as a child and teen and honestly just recently picked it up in 2012.. Since then I have read hundreds of books.. Anyway thats a bit about me... You??

Hi! Fifty Shades of Grey was my introduction to this genre and now I'm eager to continue exploring and discovering new heroes to fall in love with

Hello, everyone! I've loved reading and writing hot, erotic romance for years. As Pippa Croft, I'm writing Book 3 in an NA erotic romance series, Oxford Blue for Penguin books - the first one is called The First Time We Met which is out as an ebook and the whole series will hopefully be in print in the shops later this year. I also write hot romance for Little Black Dress, and erotic romance with BDSM elements for Samhain. Currently reading Lecture Notes by Justine Elyot and a Sylvia Day.

Here's a link to my Pippa Croft Books. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Hello--awesome group! After reading Fifty Shades of Grey, I am addicted and thoroughly enticed with erotica. Authors I love besides EL James are Sylvia Day, Maya Banks, Jodi Malpas, J Kenner, Raine Miller, Ava Claire, Melody Anne, and too many more to list. I look forward to recommendations on more amazing reads in this genre and supporting more fabulous authors!

Yes I agree - I especially like Melody Anne's style of writing. Have only read Surrender so far.

Hi

I'm Dark Inferno (no that's no my real name but its a fun pseudonym),I'm really just starting off professionally but i've been publishing fan fiction online for a few years now. I enjoy writing just about anything but I almost always include some sort of erotica.

I've got one book published so far, but I'm working on others as we speak.

Morning All - Hope you all are well. My name is Amanda. I am 28 years old and live in Maine. I love to read all types of Erotica. I loved the 50 Shades of Grey Series. Looking something new to read.

Hi Amanda!

Hello Amanda, welcome to the group. I can relate to your Fifty experience it can be life changing. I have since read two books that can rival that one. Good luck on your journey.

Can "What to read after Fifty Shades of Grey" people help 'Should a guy read Fifty Shades of Grey.'
Hi, I'm Scot Fin.
Not so much an introduction, more so how I got here: I started browsing some discussion groups while doing some research on degrees of sensuality, which led to some eroticism and FSOG. My writing, such as in my first novel of hopefully a series, Ralph and the Girl From Mayfair Towers, includes some sensuality. The question for me is, while my 'Ralph' character is more a good natured guy, can he learn from FSOG? Perhaps browsing some discussions here can help me. Should FSOG be a future read?
Please see me here (Scot Fin) or at http://scotfin.com/.
I look forward to being part of the group.
Thanks.

Newbie to the site. I LOVE FSOG and Crossfire Series. Have read MANY MANY books in my life, I love getting lost in the stories. At a stand still as to what to read next, looking forward to recommendations!

I will never tell anyone NOT to read FSOG it's a wonderful series. I know you said that Ralph is a good natured guy, it would matter the degree of sensuality you want to bring into your book. In FSOG Christian is haunted by his past thus needs and craves control, no matter the cost. Not knowing the background of your character I can't tell you if FSOG will benefit or not , however the sensual scenes in the book are incredible. The Crossfire series from Sylvia Day may help you as well. It all depends on how much you want to read. Good luck with everything looking forward to reading your book!

Thanks for the feedback Sarah. From your comments, I think if a scene is written incredibly, then another writer can learn from it. Whether it be a good natured character or one deeper, haunted, whatever the degree of sensuality a scene requires, a writer can learn if it is well written and adapt for a specific character. Thanks again as I will keep FSOG in my to-read list.

Hello! My name is Christa Tomlinson. I'm happy to join this group both to get recommendations for the sexy books I love to read and to promote my own. I recently released a m/m BDSM erotic romance, The Sergeant. Check it out if you'd like! I look forward to interacting with everyone here.

The novel will make an ideal summer vacation read and is still cheaper than a coffee from Starbucks.
***
Samantha Loxley is a twenty something, party loving career girl. Sexy and wickedly funny, she is ready to embrace her ‘try anything once’ personality but begins to realize she is getting stuck in a rut at the Advertising Agency.

A chance meeting at the gym with the much older but gorgeous Drew throws a new perspective on her life as he introduces her to places she’s never been, and she realizes that sexuality is far more complicated than she ever thought possible. The guys are gorgeous but then so are the girls, and what is a girl to do.

The deadly Ninja assassin masseuse, ripped paper panties, and stick on bras that don’t stick make for an interesting and hilarious day as she prepares for a big night out. But she will have to stay one step ahead of Marcus, the swarthy executive from the front office who has her picked out as a notch on his hotel bedpost. He discovers that far from being a master of the universe he hasn’t accounted for Samantha’s sharp tongue and her twisted humour as she leads him to the ultimate humiliation.
