Some people are very good at writing sex and some people are good at believing that they are good at writing sex, the first is a tremendously impressive skill and the second is what makes for deeply uncomfortable author presentations at science fiction conventions
There's nothing wrong with literary porn, but some of the crap those guys wrote was "Have you actuallly ever HAD sex?"

Openly autistic written books published by one of the”bigs” for a largely neurodivergent audience is rare. When books like mine are pirated, it’s sending publishers the message we aren’t worth publishing.

The difference between a friar and a monk is that a monks stayed in a monastery while friars travel about.
That is why in “adventure” stories and travelogues you occasional encounter a Friar … like “Friar Tuck”

It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion.
It’s not dignified when it’s offered in lieu of care.
