I write dark BDSM erotic romance. It's got a good market with numerous top 100 overall books in the genre. Do I write like other authors? Nope. Do I have a more literary slant? Definitely. Does that make the story less entertaining and captivating? Definitely not. It's a multi-layered story with so many different ways to look at it that it appeals to a huge range of people.
I like to compare it to The Alchemist's story structure combined with Stephen King's The Gunslinger's descriptions combined with whips, chains, and dirty sex.
The scotch metaphor was good (unedited, so it still needs lots of tightening up):
>I took another sip of my Scotch and stared into the dark liquid as I placed the tumbler down on the bar. It was clear, free of the clouds that would have come had it been chilled or mixed with ice. I saw myself in its reflection, and I knew that unlike the Scotch, my eyes were hazy and impure. The cold of loss had touched them, and they had found nothing to bring back their old warmth.
Thanks for the luck! I'll need it lol. Glad I'm still officially employed at my old job!
