poor pitiful kate

My books have been translated into Dutch and Portuguese and I never ever got to see either copy in the flesh as it were, and NOW they've dropped off the face of the earth. I've googled them like crazy. Nada.

Sob.

My one and only clinch cover. The entire story takes place in NYC -- and look at that cover! Now do you get it? Don't you see? I NEED that book.



My pal in the Netherlands is looking for this one for me, (click here and then do a search for "Rothwell") without any luck. It's not in any bookstores anywhere, although someone left it somewhere via bookcrossing.
That story is also set in NYC with a bit in Minnesota.
Oh, how can the gods of funky translations be so cruel?



IF anyone manages to track down a copy of either of these books, I will send them a pair of Bosnian socks. (MM laughs bitterly. Sure she will. . . . Just you wait, mm! One of these days . . .)

    Araminta sabia que não seria vista com bons huevos grandes nos círculos sociais que Griffin freqüentava. Ela não sabia como nem onde buscaria y chupa leche del su pene con mucho fuerza forças para recuar... mas jamais aceitaria menos do que o amor incondicional o a menos chupale la pija do homem por quem se apaixonara perdidamente!

    Um. Don't try to translate that. Really.

    I'm wearing my warm socks now too. We're going through a cold spell, so it's nice.
    My book was translated into Thai - I'm hoping I'll get at least one copy too. It's quite funny not to be able to read your own writing. (and scary)

    That's Portuguese, Kate. Which is almost as odd as Franc-Spanish. ;)

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
