Hello out there in Troutnation! I’m super hard at work on revisions for Such Sweet Sorrow, because those are due on September 15th. I’m also working on The Bride, as well as a new vampire book (because watching all this Buffy got my mind working about non-glittery vampires for a minute). Someone asked about Roadhouse in the last 50 Shades recap, so to update you on the status there, we were pretty busy with IRL junk, so we took a little break. And then an unexpected, yet totally awesome, new complication arose: D-Rock is going to college! She started last week and she’s super excited, but unfortunately, full-time classes don’t leave a lot of time for bullshitting into a camera about random topics. We hope to continue in the future, but we don’t have a set date.
Okay, stuff that will make you 50 Shades haters smile:
This comment left on the chapter 22 recap:
Of all the ridiculous casting petitions out there demanding new leads for the 50 Shades movie…
This one is my favorite. (Hey guys, I’m seeing this petition being attributed to me on twitter, but it’s not mine. I should have made that more clear. It belongs to @Americasbaby1. Introduce yourself on twitter and become tweeps and soul mates for all time!)
And finally, remember how yesterday I was all, “The Boss is free on Amazon!” Well, funny thing happens, when you give away the first book in a series as a freebie, and the sequel is already available. It makes the sequel sell better. And then… something happened…
Here is a screen shot from Amazon.co.uk’s erotic adult fiction Kindle store:
and here is another screenshot from the same store, same hour:
Now, obviously I’m not saying The Girlfriend is outselling 50 Shades Darker. I mean, that’s not even the ebook version of 50 Shades Darker, it’s the audiobook. But I thought you guys would get a kick out of knowing that The Girlfriend was ranked higher than something 50 Shades, at least for an hour. And thank you to the UK readers who bought The Girlfriend and pushed it up in the ranks!
…Yes to David Caruso. I WOULD watch the movie then. XD Love this post.
You rock! 🙂 when’s the next recap? Im so.excited for every single recap! 🙂
I’m so in love with the David Caruso as Christian comment, it’s not even funny. That was the best thing ever.
I agree! That David Caruso comment was seriously amazing. I needed that laugh!
He would make a brilliant Christian. I can just imagine all the hammy dramatic pauses.
Congrats on D Rock going to college!!! I am super excited for her. David Caruso as asshat Chedward…YES cause he always looks “Through his eyelashes, eyeglasses, shades and walks away In That Way” I’m cracking up. Kudos on knocking 50 shades of BLECH off anything. Don’t worry about the delays in things, your loyal fans will be here when you get back..
Oh yay! I’m so happy for you and D-Rock!!
Thank you for making me laugh at work. Jaycie’s comment wins everything!
Hooray for D-Rock going to college!
Jenny, It is so great reading about all the awesome things going on in your life. Reading about your adventures helps me hang on.
LOVE that The Girlfriend is giving 50 Shades a run for their money. : )
Burt and Dolly are far too classy for this movie.
Yeah, but imagine Burt Reynolds saying the “Your ass: it’s not something you just dive into” line and tell me that’s not comedy gold!
AND, imagine him saying it to Dolly Parton. The universe would tremble (quiver?) from so much win.
I’m just going to leave this here: http://jezebel.com/the-uk-is-amassing-a-graveyard-of-unrecyclable-fifty-sh-1260443887
They can’t even be recycled? Truly E.L. is the fucking devil. But that is hysterical – the lemming effect in action.
The book about the guy who is trying to save the environment can’t be recycled. Huh.
One man’s (or woman’s) un-recyclable book is another birds cage liner. Oh make shift toilet paper. That’s all its good for anyway. 🙂
And risk having the ink transfer onto my skin? No thanks, I don’t want Chedward anywhere near my ass. Besides, he might try to dive in. 😛
LMAO! I forgot about the ass diving. And you’re right… best not have that garbage anywhere near you and the super adhesiveness may make it stick to you… ewww. I just had to remove three people from my facebook as they were “soooo excited about the 50 Shades movie!”. I cant be friends with them any more. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
I can’t believe that some of the reviews for The Boss are complaining that it ended with a cliffhanger. It’s a free book! And the sequel is only four bucks! You’d think they’d be happy to discover that there’s more story.
I don’t mind those reviews, but I do think it’s weird when people are like, “There should have been a warning that there would be a cliffhanger.” Uh… what would be the point of the cliffhanger?
Or a couple I’ve seen that were like, “There was too much sex!” In an erotic novel? THE HELL YOU SAY.
That’s like saying there are too many articles in an issue of Playboy.
I have to admit that I literally LOL after I clicked on the link–but I think it would be better if Dolly were the dom and Burt the sub. Thanks for the laugh!
Hold up. Is The Bride it’s own book or a sequel sorta thing for The Boss and The Girlfriend
Forgot a question mark. Sorry!!!!! And wrong its…I just woke up guys! Sorry!
The Bride is a sequel. There are four books total in The Boss series. The Boss, The Girlfriend, The Bride, and The Baby.
Hi I just devoured The Boss and The Girlfriend, is there any news when The Bride will be ready? I’m recommending this series to my book club, cause their prudes and I will enjoy the meetings when we have to discuss the content of the books…*evil sinister laugh!!!*
Congrats on the success of your books! The only luck I get with my book is when I make it free, even then it only sold 151 something copies in a few countries. Oh well, we do what we can.
Still, congrats and good luck!
Hey, any sales is good sales! I had a book flop terribly at the beginning of the year, I think I made like, thirty-five bucks in royalties, life to date. But whatevs, I enjoyed writing it at least.
Yeah, I try to keep reminding myself that it’s only been out for just over 2 months and since I don’t have much of a fanbase, I should be pretty happy I’ve sold as many copies as I have. Writing it was tough at times, but I was so thrilled to finish it. My first novel! It’s very exciting and I am definitely enjoying writing my new trilogy.
I read a review for another book that glorifies abuse/stalking. It was genius. It made me think of FSOG and all our discussions on abuse. Check out this review, scroll to the bottom for sure 🙂

Congrats on being higher up than FSOG!!!!
RodeoBob and beyond paisley are full of WIN! : D
Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod Burt and Dolly would make a 50 Shades movie epic! The only issue I have is that I can’t imagine Dolly Parton taking so much shit from anyone.
XD Here, maybe this site will help everyone hold out till the next recap. http://romance.unclewaltersrants.com/ It’s so sad it’s fucking hysterical.
What I want to know is why on Earth is there a tag for “Daniel Radcliffe’s Penis”!?
Ahahahaha! I hadn’t noticed that, oh god! XD
We basically use it for anything that indicates a “magical penis” — meaning a penis that does anything that a penis should not be capable of doing.
But really because for some reason a LOT of people do a search for Daniel Radcliffe’s Penis, and it brings a lot of people to the blog. 😀
OH MAH GLOB, Jen. I just finished reading all the fucking recaps. It DID take me one week of not watching classes or doing my work, but WHO CARES? It was amaaaaaaazing! I was so obsessed with those recaps that I had a dream about you today! You lived in a boat in the coast of Colombia and I was there to visit you… you offered me marijuana and then shut the door (of the boat!) on my face.
It was awesome lmao.
What a beautiful dream XD
Dream me needs to get her shit together. We’re ginger, dream me! We don’t need to be on a boat in the ocean.
In realzies, I would always smoke WITH YOU before kicking you off my houseboat.
I have spent the last four days reading every recap and blog and I was so upset to find the end 🙁 loving both the 50 shades recaps and Buffy too. Can’t wait to see more.
My name is here, for some reason when viewing on android it jumps to comments without showing the name field.
It’s Anastasia Rose Steele Grey’s birthday.
Shut up. I only know this because we have the same birthday.
I feel dirty now.
Happy birthday! And I`m sorry.
I didn’t have time to watch the David Caruso one liners the other day, just did, omg so funny. I never got on the whole csi band wagon but I do remember he left the series to be in movies and he went away after that. I say nows the time to bring him back!
hello. i don’t have or want a kindle, but enjoy your erotic writing. are ‘the boss’ and ‘the girlfriend’ available as books yet/still/at all?
You can read Kindle books on your computer desktop.
Hey guys! We are SO CLOSE to making this happen! We got a whole 228 signatures on the Burt & Dolly 50 Shades petition. If you haven’t signed it, here it is http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/we-want-burt-reynolds-and-dolly-parton-as/signatures
I wrote about it on my blog, herer http://drinkcursescrew.com/2013/09/04/sign-my-petition-now-to-get-burt-reynolds-and-dolly-parton-in-50-shades/ and that was featured on Jezebel about a week ago. Still trying to help get out there, so I’ll be doing a follow-up post soon. Thanks for all your help! You rock, Jenny!!!!
So glad to see you on WordPress. It should be flattering that I messed with the pain in the ass that is Blogger just to read your blog. 😀
Oh my gosh, I found this 50 shades musical parody on Spotify. It’s so funny LOL http://open.spotify.com/album/0whJYvIClUk0b7nRTk649Q I thought of you immediately and had to share it here. Enjoy! 🙂
Soooo my best friend just sent me an Amazon gift voucher to buy The Girlfriend because she kept wanting to talk to me about it and I hadn’t got it. And it was #16 in the paid erotica section and 50 Shades was nowhere to be seen.
I’ve been trying to find you on Twitter, no such luck!! =(
