Hi guys,

I am a short-story contributor on a certain website that shall remain un-named. My stories are like HIGHLY charged Mills & Boons so I am sure they will not appeal to many since Kenyans are a very conservative and religious lot. However, I think there is group that would appreciate that kind of story.

This is the thing, there are many times I have searched for characters/settings that appeal to me and I end up frustrated so I thought it might be a good idea to self publish an ebook. I don't live in Kenya so it's kind of hard to properly understand the audience there so I ask, do you think there would be a market for this kind of literature?

Hopefully, my question wont get me insulted.

What does that mean? Like, bordering pornographic literature? That's the only way one can be able to tell what you mean exactly and if there is market for it.

@Zanze, why don't you post a couple of paragraphs here for us to get a taste and gauge if anyone would be interested.

Isn't there a market for you in where you are? We've read so many books in Kenya, please give us something else....

Laughing out loudly

I'm puritan with no apologies... I hope they are stories to build families(husband and wife) not another Kenyan importing pervasion. Sue the harlot and Wanjohi 'died' while Gertrude(albeit different on a related matter) is thriving.
