I received an email from a Triskelion author giving an update on the state of the bankruptcy. Apparently, the list of contracts provided to the court by Kristi Studts aka Triskelion was incomplete and inaccurate. The schedules of contracts for sale that was issued by the bankruptcy court included contracts that were concluded (rights returned [...]

Another epublishing house closes its e doors. Apparently a family issue has caused the owner to not continue at this time. I heard some conflicting reports of unpaid bills for the last 2 quarters but I also heard that the rights are all reverting and royalties will be paid. Also Siren Publishing is bidding on [...]

The authors were requested to send $100 per contract to RWA and RWA would bid in the bankruptcy proceedings on their behalf, returning all of the unspent money to the authors. There appear to be over 200 [...]

Loose ID Bids on Contractual Assets Last week, the week of October 8, 2007, Loose ID made a bid for the contractual assets of Triskelion Publishing. This is a brilliant public relations move by Loose ID as e authors on various message boards are already treating this as a gift. The press release by Loose [...]

Update: I was emailed that Ms. Studts has begun a new venture called Magickal Media, a web design corporation. While there appears to be no corporate filing under such name in Arizona, GoDaddy’s whois information shows a company out of Scottsdale Arizona (same county as Suprise) as the registrant (DomainsbyProxy.com). One thing that occurs to [...]

Over the weekend, Gail Northman resigned from Triskelion. This has led to a flood of authors demanding their rights back as Northman, regardless of the questionable email, was considered by some authors to be the backbone of Triskelion. Let’s hope that Triskelion doesn’t go the way of Venus Press. However, authors like Lynne Connolly will [...]

Triskelion has published some very entertaining reads, my favorites probably being Shelly Laurentson’s Pack series which is now available at Samhain. We’ve been critical of its editing but not necessarily of the books. Triskelion has, however, hit some rocky ground. The news is flying today that Triskelion has been disinvited to RWA and therefore there [...]

Dear Mrs. Treanor, As I started to read The Other Sea, I was all set to brave Triskelion and buy all your backlist at once. Despite the editing problems that I’m coming to associate with that publisher (smiles at Angie), I was prepared to glom. After finishing this book, I’m still willing to try your [...]
