VIVID FICTION SERIES GETS ATTENTION
The new series of erotic fiction based on the adventures of the Vivid Girls is getting attention in the book publishing press. The BookStandard is out this week with a story on the series and an interview with Savanna Samson. It begins: “Oh, the stodgy world of fiction. Even in its most risqué forms, it rarely converges with the cynical, sex-sells approach of the porn industry (Judith Regan notwithstanding). But now comes Vivid Entertainment—the megalithic porn outfit whose forays into print media have been, until recently, largely confined to the covers of dirty DVDs—to rattle the cage a bit. Vivid has produced, with Thunder’s Mouth Press, a series of erotic novels in an attempt to leverage the “Vivid Girls” brand. Vamp and Day of the Dead, which were released earlier this week…” Savanna says she’s planning to write her own book one of these days and says it will be “completely out of the ordinary. It’s about what men want and what women need. It’s not a how-to book or a novel of any kind. It’s just something that’s asked of me often. A lot of it is sexual, but I always felt that I could adjust to any situation, and I think that if women could be more like that, their relationships would last longer and both sides could learn to give and take.”
