From PW:
Bestselling YA author Andrea Cremer has agreed to do an adult erotic trilogy for Dutton. The author, who is best known for her popular Nightshade series (which Penguin’s Philomel imprint publishes), sold world rights to three books that will be set within the Nightshade world. ... The first book in the series—Dutton said it’s about “the lives, passions, and betrayals of lovers whose very desires invite their dooms”—is scheduled for October 2013.


I saw this earlier today, which is interesting timing for me b/c I'm reading an ARC of Cremer's Nightshade prequel book, RIFT, right now. Call me a skeptic, but I immediately wondered if this deal for an "erotic trilogy" would have gone through in the pre-50 Shades era.

Same, same. I think we'll be seeing an uptick in mainstream erotica offerings in the near future.
