Carol

oh dear, another writer who really should have thought first about using photos and her name rather than a pseudonym...

I can't see anything wrong or unprofessional in writing an erotic novel - lots of us have 2 jobs or a job and a hobby!It's not as if it's illegal child-porn or anything disreputable - as far as we know. Good luck to her and here's to the feeedom of the press (and fiction writers!)

Carol

I generally agree Dora, but she is a lawyer in a high profile group of legal companies, and it isn't good for the 'image'.
Would a client have confidence in her ability to do her job, once they became aware of her activities? Some wouldn't.
Sad as it is that they can't see they are two different areas of her life.

Oh for gods sake don't proffessionals have sex? maybe if they did and read a bit more erotica they wouldn't be such up tight arses.

Jenny

Not that fond of lawyers then, Neph?!! :)
