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
I take prednisone for my asthma (not all the time, just--oh, whatever.), but I've never gotten insomnia. Of course, I can drink a pot of coffee and go back to sleep.
ReplyDeleteyou can take it now and then? I thought you had to wean yourself off the stuff?
ReplyDeleteI mean that's what I have to do. Take a gazillion pills the first couple of days then gradually reduce over the next ten days.
and cheryl? he's gorgeous but I've already said so a few places. Good job!
ReplyDeleteInsomnia is a common side effect. It would drive me nuts. I get obnoxious and short-tempered if I'm short 2 or 3 hours of sleep (I think it reminds me too much of training, which makes me grumpy).
ReplyDeleteEvil prednisone. Get off it soon.
Kate:
ReplyDeleteI take five pills, then four the next day, then three, etc., etc. Just for when the inhaler/Advair/Singulair etc. combo isn't working.
And i use the word verification, like you do. I think your site is just a lot more high-profile than mine so you get the spamming. I've never gotten it, but I've had word verification for a long time.
Ye definately have t'wean yourself off o'it, m'darlin'.
ReplyDeleteDon't just stop takin' it or just start takin' it. Eeeviiiilll things might happen. Dr. Douglas knows best (mmmm, sounds like a medical drama from th'1950's).
BTW, since ye didn't leave me a comment section under th'post mentionin' me, I sent ye an email--well, two actually--tellin' ye I like th'carrots up th'nose thingy. 'Cause I do. Yeah. Th'carrots up th'nose thingy. ;)
Forgive this uncultured ol'lesbian Pirate Queen for not sendin' ye me forwardin' address. Walkin' meself off th'plank now...
