Do any of the authors here have published books available for purchase that are not posted here or on the sister site? There's some incredible writers on here, and I'd love to read some of their other non erotic work.
Please no doxing though, if you personally know an author on here who has other work, but doesn't want their real work linked to their erotic work, I'd like to respect that privacy.

I have several books published that are not available for free, but only one is non-erotic. It's called "Last Kiss."
I publish on Bookapy as S.W. Blayde.
Dozens of writers who have stories on SOL, also have stories published; mostly on Amazon.
Not counting Bookapy.
Aroslav, Ernest Bywater are just 2 off the top of my head.
Those are the names they go by on SOL and Bookapy, connected to SOL.
On their Author Pages they have information about other names they have published under. Also, they are allowed to advertise at the end of finished stories, and stories in progress. Images of their book covers have their Nom de Plume.
Bruce Bretthauer books are on Amazon - he had a different name on SOL
Kalliste, & Families War series starting with Firestar
Many! Including
Gina Marie Wylie
Wes Boyd
Pedant / Peter Salus
ETA: gwresearch / Geoff Wolak (magestic, k2)
G Younger has a number of titles for sale at Barnes and Noble that are not here as well as the Stupid Boy series.
PS - Some time in the past I bought Fresh Start by Rollie Lawson and I Won a Spaceship by Harrison Park from Barnes & Noble as Nook ebooks. Should have mentioned that before but memory is not what it used to be.

I've seen a couple of threads like this and most of the answers are about authors who have self published (for money) on one platform or another.
Are there any authors who got their start on SOL who have gotten published by a traditional publisher?
Agreed.
Traditionally, 'published author' means an author whose work is published by a publishing company. That would exclude self-publishers and vanity publishing (where the author pays for their work to be published). But the lines are becoming blurrier as it's easy to set up a publishing company these days to publish the work of one or two authors.

Maybe a traditional publisher is one that gets books in brick and mortar bookstores. Or another definition (although a more subjective one) is a publisher that has a vital submission process. Or maybe that it pays advances.
I think people know what is meant by traditional publishing. In most cases you can't submit directly to them. You need to get a literary agent.

The description of a slush party held during a con in John Ringo's The Princess of Wands in Book Two "The Necromancy Option" (Chapter 11) is then pure fantasy, something like this won't happen in reality?
HM.
IIRC Spider Robinson wrote of occasionally being paid $10 to spend a day reading and discarding unsolicited stories at Galaxy, which turned into a regular gig their critic / reviewer, headlined as Spider vs the Hax of Sol III. That was late 60s or early 70s, so the slush pile has been a thing for at least half a century.

... and such answers meet the brief of the OP!
https://storiesonline.net/a/Michael_Lindgren has had several books published under his real name, he abandoned SOL at around the time he got his contract.
an author on here who has other work, but doesn't want their real work linked to their erotic work
That definitely applies in his case.
