Good Love But Horrible Sex: An Advice Question

Posted May 09th, 2008 at 09:04pm

Dear Zane,

What if I do have a GREAT man... Who I have been dating on and off for the past 2 years. We have a lot in common; his birthday is the day before mine. Ironically, even the same year. He gives me whatever I want & I mean no matter what it is I ask for, he makes sure I get it. He caters to me, showers me with gifts. Makes sure I always have money in my pocket. Always makes sure I'm... (continue reading)

In Love With a Stripper: An Advice Question

Posted May 09th, 2008 at 01:08pm

Hey Zane,

I have been dating this guy for 8 months now. Things were great in the beginning. I didn't expect us to be anything other than fuck friends because of how we met. He is a male entertainer (stripper) and I was talking to his friend at first (never fucked him; we never really hit it off). I was attracted to the man I am with now. Because of his occupation, our relationship has started... (continue reading)

Virgin in Question: An Advice Question

Posted May 09th, 2008 at 01:02pm

Dear Zane,

I know that you do a lot of advice questions and I'm pretty sure that you get a lot of them throughout the day. But I am in a real dilemma, and I'm almost positive that you're the woman that can either answer the question or give me some sound advice. I know that you can see who I am, but if u do decide to post this as a blog, I would rather not be known. But here is my dilemma....I... (continue reading)

MEET ZANE

Zane is the New York Times Bestselling Author of ten titles: Dear G Spot: Straight Talk about Sex and Love, Afterburn, Skyscraper, Nervous, The Sisters of APF, Gettin' Buck Wild: The Sex Chronicles 2, The Heat Seekers, Shame on it All, Addicted and The Sex Chronicles: Shattering the Myth. She is also an editor or a contributor to several other titles including: Love is Never Painless, Caramel Flava, Chocolate Flava, Breaking the Cycle, Blackgentlemen.com, Best American Erotica 2004, Best Black Women's Erotica, Brown Sugar 2, Twilight Moods, Dark Dreams, and the newly released essay collection Becoming Myself: Reflections of Growing Up Female edited by Willa Shalit, the producer of the famous Vagina Monologues. Becoming Myself features a distinguished roster of celebrity females including Maya Angelou, Patti LaBelle, Vanessa Williams, Glenn Close, Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, and Harry Potter J.K. Rowling. Zane feels blessed to be included in such an illustrious lineup of accomplished females.


In addition to writing, Zane is the Publisher of Strebor Books International, an imprint of ATRIA/Simon and Schuster. Under Strebor, Zane is responsible for acquiring dozens of titles per year and currently has nearly seventy authors under her imprint. In December 2005, Strebor Books became the first major publishing house to implement an independent sales representative program. Zane intends to have at least 10,000 independent sales reps by the winter of 2008. Also in 2007, Zane will launch two new lines of books and publish a record 60 titles.


Zane has set her ambitions on film-making and plans to write and produce at least six film projects yearly as well as television series and straight-to-DVD projects. Her goal is to bring cutting-edge projects to the forefront of the industry and break the monotony of current films being produced. Her first film Addicted will be theatrically released in spring 2008 in a co-production agreement with de Passe-Zane Entertainment and Lionsgate. Lionsgate is the premier independent producer and distributor of motion pictures, television programming, home entertainment, family entertainment and video-on-demand content. Its prestigious and prolific library is a valuable source of stable, recurring revenue and is a foundation for the growth of the company's core businesses. The Lionsgate brand name is synonymous with original, daring, quality entertainment in markets around the globe.


Zane's Sex Chronicles will premiere on Cinemax during May 2008. The show portrays Zane as the main character and centers around the love lives of her and her friends, as well as features erotic vignettes.


Zane will launch her body product line in the spring of 2008 followed by her clothing and adult toy lines in fall 2008. She will use her independent sales representatives to market all of her lines as well as products of other handpicked vendors.


Zane's next several books are slated for publication including: Solitaire: Afterburn 2, Addicted with a Twist, Vengeance, It Is What It Is: Shame on it All Again, There's a Pitbull in My Bed and Another Time, Another Place. Zane is published in several different languages including Danish, Japanese, and most recently Thai; signifying the fact that she has massive cross-cultural appeal. She is the most successful African-American erotica writer of all-time and her web site, Eroticanoir.com, averages a quarter million hits monthly. Having started building a massive readership via the Internet in late-1997, by the time Zane published her first books in 2000, the books immediately sold hundreds of thousands of copies.


Zane is the daughter of two former educators: an elementary school teacher and a world-renowned theologian who is also the author of nearly two dozen books. The foreword of his latest book was penned by Desmond Tutu. She was born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area where she still resides with her three children. Out of all of her accomplishments, Zane is most proud of the remarkable job she has done raising her children.


Zane has taken a taboo topic and turned it into a conversation piece and a way for couples to open up to each other. She recognizes that intimacy is the topic women feel most uncomfortable about and believes that if she can liberate women sexually, it will trickle over into all other aspects of their lives. Non-readers classify her books as pure sex but Zane tackles many topics plaguing today's society including unplanned pregnancy, sexual addiction, multiple personality disorder, and organ donation; just to name a few. Her greatest satisfaction comes from the thousands of weekly emails she receives from readers who feel her writing has changed their lives in positive ways. Zane also gets hundreds of advice emails a month and moderates numerous discussion groups online.


Even with all of her current irons in the fire, Zane insists that her journey has just begun. Just turning forty-one years of age, Zane intends to turn her multi-million dollar corporation into a billion dollar empire within the next five years. Will she do it? Zane never views failure as an option and believes that anything humanly possible is within her reach.

Zane can be contacted via email at a href="mailto:zane@eroticanoir.com">zane@eroticanoir.com" zane@eroticanoir.com. She can also be visited on her My Space page located at HYPERLINK "http://myspace.com/zaneland" http://myspace.com/zaneland
