Carnal Desires Publishing MATURE CONTENT

This project is believed to be defunct. (May 2013)

About

In October of 2007, Carnal Desires Publishing, a subsidiary of Double Dragon Publishing, Inc., will offer works of literary erotica targeting mature, sophisticated, uninhibited readers who frankly enjoy character-driven erotic romance novels featuring explicit sensual scenes. We will offer each work of erotic fiction as an ebook, and, if the author so wishes, as a paperback. We are looking for erotic novels that feature both high literary quality and supremely original story lines. Not only must vivid portrayals of sexual encounters be integral to a riveting plot featuring fascinating, well-developed characters, erotic scenes must form an essential aspect of the plot. So must romance. We are especially desirous of receiving cross-genre works: those combining erotic romance with science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, historical fiction, action/adventure, mystery/suspense, etc. We take pride in featuring the work of authors who triumphantly cross the boundaries set by the establishment press.
