When self-publishing an erotic novel, there are a few elements that are traditionally included in the front and back matter. These can include a dedication, acknowledgments, an author's note, and/or a glossary.

The front matter is the first section of the book and typically includes the dedication, acknowledgments, and author's note. The dedication is a short, personal message from the author to the reader. The acknowledgments section is where the author thanks anyone who helped with the book, such as editors, beta readers, etc. The author's note is an optional section where the author can provide background information about the book, such as why they wrote it or what inspired them.

The back matter is the final section of the book and typically includes a glossary. The glossary is a list of terms that are specific to the book's universe or setting. This can be helpful for readers who are new to the world of erotica, or for those who need a refresher on the terminology.

Both the front matter and the back matter are important elements of an erotic novel. They help to set the stage for the story and provide valuable information for the reader.

In the front matter, you will typically find the title page, copyright page, and dedication (if desired). You may also choose to include a foreword, preface, or introduction.
