The Test of Twins

Since PayPal's nonsense regarding pseudo-incest and incest, authors of erotica have to become slightly skittish in what they write. I don't write any of the topics PayPal considered banning, but believe me, I was FURIOUS they even thought they had a say in what authors wrote.
Since Mark Coker of Smashwords' valiant battle, and how many hundreds or thousands of angry PayPal users pulled their money, myself included, from PayPal's site, PayPal has re-visited it's absurd decision and now is only going to ban photo books which depict child porn and whatever else they feel is too taboo for sensible humans to make choices in purchasing.
So, how will authors respond to the 'promise' of PayPal to not pick on indie authors? Well, it's a bit scary out there.
I wrote The Last Hard Man before the controversy and now, don't know what to do with it.
The irony is, the demand for stories about twins is great. Two men together. Is that incest? Not in my book. Incest laws are written to prevent conceiving abnormal children. Two men or two women cannot have a kid, so? No harm no fowl?
Of course this depends upon one's sensibilities and the very idea of male twins touching each other could be seen as gag worthy. As I suppose so are gay men and women touching to some. After all, we all know same sex couples bring out the worst in homophobia.
As readers and writers we have the right to write what we like. (say that ten times fast!)
How many fans have asked me to write twincest? Many!! How well will this book sell when it is released next month? Great! I know it's what readers want to read. Hot steamy taboo twincest. Do I write about incest often? No. Will this be my last book on twincest? Yes, indeed.
Dare I tempt the powers that ban to censor my book? They have censored so many covers previously, I expect they will fuss about this one. So, I am going to offer it as an exclusive release only available on Rainbow ebooks. They have never been effected or influenced by PayPal's absurdity. If I can be reassured that this book will not become a bane in my ass! then it will hit Kindle and ARe and Bookstrand. But unfortunately when an independent author is threatened by 'big money', we do stay cautious.
But for those of you who crave lovely twins sharing a man, The Last Hard Man will not disappoint. Please give your business to Rainbow ebooks, because they did not cave, nor did they take down indie authors or books.
The Last Hard Man- out mid April...

Be safe out there.
