Early in her career, under the male nom de plume Ruding Upton King, Florence King wrote various pornographic genre paperbacks. Of this period, Miss King has stated that "I was supposed to sound like a man and did". Her novel When Sisterhood was in Flowerfeatures a character who writes pornography. In this novel, she describes the ways in which porn authors pad out the page count of such books by double-spacing around titles, dropping chapter heads, and needlessly repetitive dialogue. When Sisterhood was in Flower is out of print, but appears, abridged by the author, in The Florence King Reader.

During the 1970's vogue for historical romances (cf. Sweet Savage Love, the works of Rosemary Rogers et al.) under the name Laura Buchanan, Florence King wrote a novel set in pre-Christian Britain titled The Barbarian Princess. It is out of print. An excerpt appears in The Florence King Reader.
