WICKED PRETTY THINGS is not so pretty right now

Friday, March 25, 2011
While on twitter I saw a number of tweets and retweets about authors pulling their submission from an anthology, WICKED PRETTY THINGS. I decided to check it out and I have gathered some links and information for you.

Basically Jessica Verday, author of THE HOLLOW trilogy, had written a male/male love story and was asked by the editor to change it to a male/female relationship because it would not be acceptable to the publishers. She refused and pulled her submission and support of the anthology. In support, so far, 3 other authors are pulling their submissions from the anthology as well. Below I have posted 2 links from Jessica Verday's blog which include quotes from the editor and the publishers. I have also posted links to the blog entries of the other authors who have posted why they have chosen to pull their stories.

* I will edit this post if more authors pull their stories

Love is love.

FREE Audiobook!

Saturday, August 21, 2010

Back in January I got the pleasure of meeting Toronto author Lesley Livingston. She is a lovely person. I already had her first book, WONDROUS STRANGE and I was captivated when she read a section of her second book DARKLIGHT (which I also bought and had signed by Lesley.) It was wonderful to hear the story with the voices and inflections from the author's point of view.


Well, you can imagine my excitment when I found out today you can download the audiobook of WONDROUS STRANGE for FREE! Yes FREE! Not only is it free but it is also read by Lesley Livingston. It's only available until August 25th, 2010 so you need to hurry if you want a copy.

You can download it from here:

Happy Listening!
