Shameless Plug - "A Stringed Instrument"

A very dear friend has just published their first novel - "A Stringed Instrument".

Sleeping with your boss's daughter at the office Christmas party - what could possibly go wrong? When Yvonne meets Phoebe physical attraction comes easily, but she's unprepared for the trials of a closeted relationship with a "straight" woman from a conservative family. The consequences are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, often steamy, and always touching.

It's available here as an ebook, and there's a "fades to black in the naughty bits" version and a "hot and steamy" one for those who like their fiction a bit more ... spicy.

And while I might be just a little biased, they really *are* very good at writing, and I strongly recommend it.

Interesting that there's two editions. Being quite unfamiliar with the contemporary ebook fiction market, how common is this?

Not very, apparently. It was a matter of "should remove the smut for sales" followed by "oh, what the hell - put both versions up."

It's the smutty version that's sold...

That's not very surprising. Unless one is of particular sensibilities, why would one want an expunged version?
