SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Springboarding off her nationwide success with “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star” in 2006, Jenna Jameson has penned a deal with Los Angeles-based publishing house Sounds Publishing for a line of branded books on erotica.

The porn starlet and publishing house will debut their new literary collaboration with “JennaTales: Erotica for the woman on top,” a series of erotica stories, and “JennaTips: Sex tips for the woman on top,” a series of educational erotica books.

The first two titles to be released under the “JennaTales” series are “Something Borrowed” and “Something Blue,” which will be featured at Adult Entertainment Expo, Jan. 10, in Las Vegas, and then at Book Expo America in New York, June 1.

The books are then slated to hit store shelves in April 2007 and will be offered in audio versions for iPod and MP3 downloads.

“For us, Jenna means sex, and for the mainstream, Jenna means sex, so we wanted to bring Jenna and erotic together, and Jenna and sex education together,” Sounds Publishing CEO Brian OliverSmith told XBIZ. “We’ve seen doors opened by Jenna’s powerful name, and are energized by the incredible opportunities working with Jenna is presenting.

Sounds Publishing, based in Marina del Rey, Calif., is best known for its “Sugar,” “Spice,” and “Spank!” lines of audio erotica.
