The More Cowbell Posse finds the most amazing stuff!! Today’s addition to the Crazy Books series comes from Juli Page Morgan. All I can say is “Wow!”
Seriously.
She sent me this link to an article on Jezebel called Dinosaur Erotica Exists and It’s Just as Amazing as You’d Imagine.
But here’s the thing…I never imagined anything like this.
When I’m thinking about Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Extremely-Hot, he’s a mammal. I just don’t do reptile, if you know what I mean. So imagine my surprise when I ran a search on Amazon and found out there are ELEVEN volumes of Dinosaur Erotica.
You coulda knocked me over with a Pterodactyl feather (if those flying lizards had them) [just go with me here].
So I start browsing titles: Taken by the T-Rex. . . Running from the Raptor. . . Taken at the Dinosaur Museum. . . Taken by the Pterodactyl. . .Ravished by the Triceratops. . .
OK, I just couldn’t get any further.
The only thing that gave my naughty bits any kind of zing was Taken at the Dinosaur Museum. Because, hello? Archaelogists are HOT. The rest of those titles leave me as cold as any reptile.
That being said, this author has got to be a marketing genius.
There’s eleven of these babies, each less than 20 pages, and priced at $2.99. So far (that I know of) she’s been discussed on Jezebel, More Cowbell and several author loops. That’s serious word of mouth and dinero. My hat’s off to Christie Sims, even if I have no plans to hit up her books for a prehistoric beast booty call.
And the reviews? Holy Cowbell, THE REVIEWS. They rock!!
Here’s two from Taken by the T-Rex, just to give you a taste:

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Write a Bestseller October 4, 2013
By Anastasia Beaverhausen VINE VOICE
Step 1: Find something that no one is having relations with, such as a dinosaur, centaur, or toaster oven.
Step 2: Write and publish a 17-page ebook featuring someone having relations with that thing.
Step 3: Profit!

5.0 out of 5 stars The apotheosis of literature, October 2, 2013
By Stacy Monahan Tucker (Seattle, WA)
If you have been searching for dinosaur-on-woman porn (and who hasn’t been?), your search has at last reached its end. Filling a literary niche that, incredibly, has been ignored until now, the author has recognized the public’s insatiable interest in dinosaur lust for the ladies. Human ladies. I look forward to the sequels that will undoubtedly chronicle their ongoing romance, their subsequent affairs and rocky issues in their relationship, and the fates of their dino-human children.

Stellar stuff, no?
Mind you, I still don’t think this tops previous Crazy Book entries like The Big Coloring Book of Vaginas or How To Live With a Huge Penis, but it’s definitely a worthy member of this category.
And now it’s your turn to sound off. I’m just dying to know what y’all think about this.
Had you ever heard of this particular erotica genre? Which title is your favorite? What do you think sparked this idea? Enquiring minds always want to know these things here at More Cowbell!

Why am I ALWAYS behind the curve on a new genre? By the time I can figure out the sex scenes, the market will have moved on to Pringles can sex, or black hole sex, and I’ll miss them, too.
Dammit!

So many pressing questions about this genre, and I find myself wishing I had Beaverhausen somewhere in my family tree. I have a TOP SECRET plan to write erotica novellas under a pen name when (1) ALL INN is complete, and (2) I can play with Self and Discipline without getting hives.
So far, the best I’ve got is Cadence O’Cock, but I’m not sure that passes the clever-yet-subtle litmus test.
Yes, I will have to purchase one of these literary tomes. To discover how 5,000 words can be marketed as an eBook rather than Short Story on Steroids. Geesh! I’ll need at least 20,000 words.
OFF TOPIC ALERT: There are two More Cowbell Chronicles written and scheduled, and at least three more in the works. I pushed back the posting date for the first because I committed to a guest blogger on Wednesday, and want nothing to interfere with the flow of More Cowbell Chronicles. I plan to get on a regular Tuesday blog post routine, and don’t want the Wednesday post to stomp on my More Cowbell. This concludes my Off-Topic Alert.

I think it’s the book covers that are making me shudder. I wonder if those bikini-clad models had any idea whatsoever what scene would be placed behind them. How are they going to explain THAT to their kids one day? I can just see it now, as gold-swimsuit lady sits down to thumb through the children’s book HOW DO DINOSAURS SAY GOOD NIGHT? with her little one and says, “Mommy was on dinosaur book cover once. It was also about a dinosaur saying good night…kind of.”

It’s a change from accidentally posting your “personal” photos online Julie. I just hope they are making these sacrifices to pay for college – to get a degree in psychology to help that author. Fiction has strayed far from being able to suspend disbelief. This suspends ability to believe the author is not on hallucinogens.
I guess that was a libellous comment. Oh well, we have no assets and are broke. Sue away…

I’m still wondering how the author came up with the idea in the first place. I can only surmise it happened during a Jurassic Park drinking game that got out of hand.
And did y’all notice? That Velociraptor gets around. Same lizard is on the cover of two different books. I guess he’s the Fabio of the dino-porn world.

Dinosaur erotica? No, but did click Vagina Coloring Book and Big Penis links. I figured if a male has the BP syndrome there will be a lot of volunteers of both sexes to “instruct”. As for coloring vaginas, those that I’ve seen seem to properly colored. I really never looked into it. Anyway most of the “V” shots are on porn and I’m not a fan. And that’s personal.
