My initial reaction was to dedicate my books to my kids. Then I thought it would be kind of creepy since my books are erotic. Am I right?
Who do you dedicate your erotica books to?

The last one I bought was dedicated to the author's friend, also a writer (no, I'm not talking about one of tt42's).

Most are dedicated to the author's S/O, family members (not kids, one would assume) or even agents/publishers/editors.

I'm with you. I'd dedicate them to someone over 21.

I intend to worry about that when I sign a publishing contract.

There are many people who have been instrumental in my approaching that point. When and if I make it, I'll see who stands out in the crowd.

It won't be my kids, even though they are adults. I agree, that's kind of creepy.

Maryn, not sure her son knows what she writes

I'm dedicating mine to my beta reader as I couldn't have written much of the book without her. Also, no one in my real life knows I write erotica (one or two of my friends seem to think I write respectable stuff like sci-fi and I don't tend to correct them on that) so there would be no point dedicating my book (or future books) to them.
Definitely wouldn't dedicate it to kids though, I agree it is kind of creepy.

Thanks! That's what I thought. I just did a generic dedication to cover all my bases instead.

I can't wait for the in-laws to get a hold of my books. Lord help me!

My kids know it exists but yeah... although, well... hmmm. Maybe generic to family?

Lots of folks to thank though. All over 21.
