Sophie’s Screwing With Society’s Moral Fabric! Literally!

My good friend Alina Adams is the ghostwriter for Oakdale Confidential, a New York Times bestselling tie in book for As The World Turns. Yes, I just outted her but it’s excusable since Soap Opera Digest outted her weeks earlier. Anyhoo, there is this guy with a blog site who had dedicated SEVERAL (as in way more than one) posts taking her to virtual-task for the way she’s handled her ghostwriter-status (amongst other things).

I read this and was immediately jealous of Alina. You know you’ve made it when the haters come along. After all, nobody gives grief to the underdog (unless you’re a high school bully on steroids or something). But despite my ever improving sales I’ve yet to find even one person who is willing to be my nemesis.

At least that’s what I thought until tonight…

See, my film agent emailed me asking if I had an e-copy of the Cosmo excerpt of Passion, Betrayal And Killer Highlights that was featured in their July issue. I didn’t have one so I did a quick search on Google. I couldn’t find what I was looking for and was about to log off when I saw something rather strange. The title of my book was bringing up an article that was being distributed on the Christian News Wire. Curious I clicked the link, and guess what?

I have a nemesis!!!! In fact I have managed to piss off an entire organization of people!!! They call themselves the American Decency Association and they find my work to be incredibly indecent. How fabulous is that?!

Apparently my “racy” books are an irresistible temptation for all the “lustful youth” of America. At least that has become the case ever since Cosmo brought me to their attention. The problem has also reportedly been exacerbated by a game Cosmo suggested in that issue which is meant to spice up couples’ sex lives. The game begins by the selection of sexually explicit scenes from beloved books that can later be reenacted. So the fear is that after seeing my excerpt in that particular issue of Cosmo teens will put two and two together and do what Sophie does.

Of course there are problems with their premise. For one thing as far as explicit sex scenes are concerned mine are fairly tame. I assume the lustful youth knows how to use the internet and I assure you they could find a lot worse in one Google search. Secondly to truly reenact the sex scene in Passion, Betrayal And Killer Highlights you’d need a box full of dark chocolate covered espresso beans and a $1,200 espresso machine…not things that the average teenager has on hand. But of course the folks within the American Decency Association wouldn’t know that because they don’t read the “smut” I write and thank God for that because if they did they might not hate me so much and I seriously can’t think of any group that I would rather piss off. I mean this is a serious honor and I’m not even being facetious! I honestly haven’t been this excited since I found out I was going to get into Cosmo in the first place!

Everybody who’s anybody is hated by the American Decency Association and now I am finally a somebody. Yea me!

    Thanks for having my back Cass! I'm really not too worried about it. These people are going to be mad at anyone who expresses a view or lifestyle choice that conflicts with their own. But hey, it's a free country and that's their preparative. Besides, I appreciate the free publicity they've given me ;)

    You crack me up you hussy you! HA! I thought this was too hilarious considering the sex scene is in your SECOND book, as you point out. There isn't even a sex scene in the first book YOu just build it up you tease you!

    Just think of SMDL as the dinner portion of the third date. You know what's coming but you're going to have to wait for it ;)
