How has the economy changed you?

Thank you for reading. As you know (I hope!) I write for the examiner.com, San Diego, and I am looking for input from my twitter followers (or those interested) for an upcoming article I'm putting together.

Since my articles mostly revolve around erotica, I am looking for the habits of erotica buyers, authors, and publishers, but if anyone wants to chime in, I am excited for you to be apart of this.

Consumers, with the economy the way it is, has this changed the way you purchase your erotica books? Or do you still continue to buy as you've done before?

Authors has the economy changed how your paid now vs before? Are you still able to submit or has this been hindered?

Publishers has the economy changed how you accept work from new authors? Or changed the way you do business?

I'd really appreciate your input!

Now you can leave either your comments here or @reply and I will make sure to get info from Twitter. I will try to include all in the article, but I can't make any promises, as I need this information within the next 3 days. Thanks!
