writing erotic fiction and writing for children. Should you do both?
Would writing erotic fiction put off children's publishers?
Your thoughts please.

Would you be morally obliged to inform your childrens publisher that you wrote erotica? I dont know. Would I care if my child were reading a childrens book written by a person who also writes erotica? Absolutely not providing the content wasnt of an adult nature.
I personally think there is a huge difference between fact and fiction. You are not attempting to influence anyones opinion when you write fiction only to entertain.
Betsie, I agree but my thoughts were mainly with the media who have never been known for letting the facts get in the way of a 'good' story.
It is so easy to cowtow to the mass media and believe the half-truths and sensationalism that comes in the press. I certainly won't let it stop me from writing the stories that come to me and I don't believe anyone else should either.
Lets bear in mind that Hitler was a vegetarian painter that taught history, whereas Winston Churchill was a drunken womanising school drop-out. (Apparently)
