COLUMBUS, GA, September 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) In the world of literature, 2012 will go down in history as the year of self-publishing success. Kickstarted by E.L. James, the year has also seen a dramatic rise in both the image and popularity of erotic fiction. Putting these concepts to the test is a nationally-acclaimed author - writing under an unknown pen-name.
Jamie Fawkes, who refuses to reveal his/her true identity, has decided to test the erotic flash-fiction market, through the self-published route. The reason for anonymity is simple - to not let his/her famed name influence the result.
"After 50 Shades of Grey, erotic flash fiction; or short books that can be read during a lunch break has taken over the charts of Amazon. Many authors are selling their e-titles in installments and building a buzz from there and going forward," says Fawkes, who is teasing the world with his/her lack of identity.
While their true self is being kept firmly under wraps, Fawkes is more than forthcoming when it comes to sharing the book's synopsis:
Richard's wife is fed up with not being pleased. So fed up, that it's to the point that she cheats on her husband out in the open.
Her husband, Richard, is desperate to save his marriage. So desperate that he's willing to do ANYTHING in order to quench her desire for great sex.
What happens when he meets Mr. Taster, NO one - including himself - could have ever imagined!
"The market has been very well so far. I wrote the book in a couple of hours and uploaded it, the same way I would do to a blog.... and people love it. I will be releasing "Taster's Choice 2" in the next few days," Fawkes adds.
The flash-fiction market has certainly taken a positive turn of late, with many authors topping the USA Today and New York Times best-seller list for works which can be read on the bus ride to work.
To Fawkes, it's a change in the right direction.
"It is important because it shows yet another shift in the world of digital self-publishing. It shows the changes that technology allows and what has become possible since the advent of Kindles and Nooks," he/she concludes.

"Taster's Choice" by Jamie Fawkes can be purchased on Amazon.com.

Images of 300 million old insects revealed
2012-09-26
Writing in the journal PLoS One, the scientists have used a high resolution form of CT scanning to reconstruct two 305-million year old juvenile insects. Without the pioneering approach to imaging, these tiny insects – which are three-dimensional holes in a rock – would have been impossible to study.
By placing the fossils in a CT scanner, and taking over 3,000 X-rays from different angles, the scientists were able to create 2,000 slices showing the fossil in cross section.
From these slices the researchers created 3D digital reconstructions of the fossils. This process ...

Computers match humans in understanding art
2012-09-26
Southfield, MI - - Understanding and evaluating art has widely been considered as a task meant for humans, until now. Computer scientists Lior Shamir and Jane Tarakhovsky of Lawrence Technological University in Michigan tackled the question "can machines understand art?" The results were very surprising. In fact, an algorithm has been developed that demonstrates computers are able to "understand" art in a fashion very similar to how art historians perform their analysis, mimicking the perception of expert art critiques.
In the experiment, published in the recent issue ...
