It's All in the Character

It turns out, writing a very meek Romance novel in 1990 makes you a pornographer:

Her record of writing, having published and selling a pornographic book clearly shows that Susan Combs is a two faced, hypocrite who was obviously more concerned with her literary career and seeing her name in print than the morals of the young People of Texas who are exposed to her 222 page book, A Perfect Match, which has her name at the top of every other page - - - a clear testament to Susan Combs’ insatiable ego and desire to see her name in print...

In violation of copyright, Fred sweet little site has scans of pages of Combs' book. Presumedly, these are the most damning pages he could find. I couldn't help finding it precious, probably because they make a 1960s Harlequin look racy.

I also love the fact that Fred seems to not know how books work, you know, like how *every* book has the author name on the top of every other page. Perhaps this is the only book he's seen.

Surprisingly, Combs' site details: her record and stuff. She doesn't even mention her opponent. Maybe she couldn't think of anything polite or interesting to say.
