Apparently there is some rumor that I was/am/will be publishing a book under a different pen name. This book was supposedly contracted by Angela James at Quartet Press and this is the reason for my disappointment at the fall of Quartet Press.

At the end of every review, we include a buy link. After the #amazonfail episode wherein Amazon deranked all the books with gay/lesbian/erotic etc in the category, we switched to Indiebound. Unfortunately none of the readers here use Indiebound to make purchases. The reason that this is important to Dear Author is because we earn(…)

I’m trying out a new format for our Recommended Reads post. This will just be a list with who recommended the book, a link to a review if we have one up, and a buy link. Let me know what you prefer (i.e., the list used to have paragraph long review snippets). Smooth Talking Stranger(…)

We probably don’t need to say this, but the formation of the Dear Author Literary Agency, the closing of Dear Author, and the injunctive suit against the Smart Bitches is all part of our April Foolery. Smart Bitches do have a book coming out on April 17 called Beyond Heaving Bosoms. (although, seriously, we do(…)
