Ah, I think I figured out to sign in first where I registered, I had wondered where all my post went. Smile.
I posted before that thanks to you all here at both blogs for bringing this to light and I enjoy a great many of Signet authors, including Jo Beverley who has her new one out now :) So I’m glad all is settled with this.

Wow, that’s wonderful news. And done in a very appropriate, professional manner. I’ll be keeping my eye out for Signet books in the future. :)

Alright, I agree Signet did the stand up thing and that it would take them time to get their duckies in a row to make this move. The cynical part of me wonders why we received the initial disclaimer and (sound of author shooting herself in the foot if I ever want to get a contract with these folks) why the editor(s) didn’t catch this all along.

Just had to ask. Now I’ll crawl back into my hole like a good little curmudgeon.

Wrote them and thanked them for taking the problem as seriously as the rest of us did.

Fantastic! A huge step in the right direction for the entire genre.

I too am pleased to see a publisher take such an action. And now the question is if the other pubs will see this as being responsible and join in, or pretend it doesn’t matter.

I hope the former.

Thanks to NR and Robin for the addys.

I read this last night and was hoping it would be posted here. It’s about time this happened. I, like most of you, had given up hope that Ms. Edwards would finally face the consequences of her actions. This is a good start.
I still doubt that Dorchester will do anything. Their confession magazines still advertise her heavily. It makes me want to scream every time I see one of her books.
