Using Smashwords to find MM Romance and Erotica part II - search suggestion

 A question came up today in Odessa Hywell's group about navigating Smashwords to find specific types of books and I realized that I hadn't shared my search secrets in Smashwords... so here's what I do:

I personally find the categories on the sidebar a little difficult and sometimes unwieldy, so I pick an author and a book that I already know and fits with what I want to search

So let's pick Odessa as our example

and then I scroll down and find either the categories (broad) or the tags (more specific)

and off I go searching for dark gay romance or taboo mm romance or any of the other great options!
