Fifty Shades and Then Some!
Chatting with the author(s) of erotica "hoax," "The Diamond Club: A Novel"

That's something that could only happen in ePub.
Pub Buzz: You said on your video that you saw that the top ten bestselling ebooks on iTunes were 50 Shades of Grey books and various rip-offs. Why did this offend you?
Brian Brushwood: I'm not in the least bit offended by the success of "50 Shades," but it was a bit of a bummer to release "Scam School Book 2" and have it be utterly dominated by books that appeared to be selling mostly because they simply looked like "50 Shades."
Pub Buzz: And by the way, did you look closely at the books on the list? One of them, for example, "Gone Girl," is actually a very well-written literary thriller and as far as I’m aware there’s no porn in "Unbroken."
