Pirating Sucks!
Sharing this… Pirating books sucks. Even more devasting when I know the author and how hard she works.
Thanks for sharing, Renee April. I’ve just found a couple of mine on a share site. I was gutted. All that work. It’s hard enough as an Indie author. Where to go from here? A ‘cease and desist’? A lawyer?
Writing is my only source of income.
I feel for authors who have experienced the same – and for any artist in the same situation.

This is the second Well Versed anthology audio book to celebrate poets and their work. The anthology has spoken works from nearly seventy poets.
All poems recorded for the antholoy will be played on Words Out Loud show on PBA FM, from 18th February.

The Departments of Curiosities Review
There’s a new review on both Amazon and Smashwords. Thank you to G Walden for taking the time to share this review:
“I was fortunate to have won this book in a contest, and I am so happy I did. Steampunk is not a genre I would normally choose, however,I found this book extremely well written and exciting. Even though there are many fantastic gadgets,I feel this story is more character driven with mystery, treachery, sabotage and spies set in Queen Victoria’s time. I enjoyed following Tillies’ adventure as she tries to prove her father was not a traitor to the crown. The writing is exciting, the characters engaging and there were a number of surprises. I have never read this author before, so it was wonderful to read a well crafted plot, great characters a totally entertaining book.”
