Writing a fiction book

Q:

1. If a person wrote a book which is a mix of fiction and non fiction and they sell the book, is the money earned from that halaal?

2. If that same book has slight romance in it, will the money earned from it be halaal?

3. If that same book has swearing (which the readers will be warned of) then is the money earned from it halaal?

A: If it is something permissible that he wrote and it is not misleading and wrong then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
