Picture Book vs. Erotic Novel

One picture book.  One erotic novel.  Both being considered by two separate agents within the same firm.  But which one will be accepted first?

Oh, I've received my fair share of rejection letters for both manuscripts.

My favorite rejection for the picture book came from an agent who was totally interested in signing me.  But when she asked about my other manuscripts, I had to come clean.  I told her about the erotic novel.  Doh!  You would have thought I wiped a cootie on her brand new iPad.

So does this mean a picture book writer cannot dabble in the world of the erotic?  Doubt it.  It just means I'll have to come up with a really great pen name.  :-)
