Seduce Your Reader--And Yourself

The next installment in my writer's feast is up: Seduce Your Reader--And Yourself: Erotic Sex, Sexier Erotica, and Very Versatile Salads.  I consider timeless questions such as "What's the difference between erotica and pornography?"

(as much as possible, silly, but be sly about it); and "How can I make a tasty salad from this week's CSA veggie box?"
