I don't know anything else by the publisher, so I can't tell if this is typical. There's definitely a place for small publishers in niche markets, but I don't understand why something like this ever needs to see the light of day. (Though I sort of want a copy now... You think I should write the author and compliment her on her witty satire of the romance genre?)

I actually looked up the numbers for FORCED MATE and it sold a whole lot better than I would have expected. Guess there's a market for intergalactic royal chess sex slaves after all.

Also -- hey! You still exist!
