Smart Bitches Trashy Books | All of the romance, none of the bullshit.

After a commenting problem was solved by circumventing the security word/captcha via site membership, the idea smacked me: would other folks like to avoid the security lines and go straight to the VIP section of commenting?

Please note: we are virgins to the EE Membership world, so if we grab its man-sac too tightly and cause some malfunctions, we might have to cancel the membership privileges, but until then, let’s give it a stroke - ur, try.

If you’d like to register as a member of the Smart Bitch website, scroll down on the right until you see “Smart Bitchery Members” section and register. Once you’re logged in to the site, you can avoid the security measures for commenting and enjoy the knowlege that you are an official Member of the Smart Bitchery. Or, you could just be...a member. 

See that bright shiny new “FAQ U” button up on the navigation bar? Yeah, the brand spankin’ new FAQ section is up, bitches. Go check it out. Sarah and I are still working on our “About Us” pages, wherein we provide you with glorious amounts of TMI and cute cat pictures. (Or at least, I plan to, mwahahaha.)

Darlene Marshall (writer of that swishbuckling classic, Pirate’s Price) has notified me that Bookaza, an e-book retailer, is selling at least one of her titles without authorization. Her publisher, LTDBooks is trying get them to cease and desist, but so far they’ve apparently been unsuccessful. Darlene and her publisher get zip when you buy something of hers from this store. This is so far the first and only confirmed case. (See update below.) Other e-book authors: do you have any experiences with this retailer?

Anyway: Bad e-book retailer! Stealing is naughty!

Update: Darlene just notified me of another way Bookaza is engaging in thievery: According to J.K. Rowling herself, there are NO authorized e-book versions of any Harry Potter books, yet Bookaza offers them anyway. 

Maili interviewed me for her website! Go check it out. The critics have weighed in, and this is what some of them have to say:

“Great interview!”

“Brilliant as always.”

What are you waiting for? Go! Read! Because I plan on spending most of this weekend reading, and Sarah is smack in the middle of moving-in hell, so God knows what kind of content you’ll find on the site this weekend.

Hey, readers! We’re finally getting off our asses and making an About Us page and an FAQ page. This is your chance to ask all the burning questions that have been eating you up about Sarah, Candy and the site. (That other burning? You need some miconazole cream for that, hon, nothing we can do for you here.) Answers are not guaranteed to be honest (I mean, c’mon, as if we’d answer honestly if you asked us ‘What’s your mother’s maiden name?’ and ‘What are the last four digits of your SSN?’) but they WILL be amusing. And feel free to go nuts. Ask us some real off-the-wall questions. We’ll answer them. Honest. (Or not.)

Here are some sample questions to kick start the inquisition:

Aside from ID and a book to read, what is one thing you won’t leave home without?

If you were a Chick Lit heroine, which shoe brand would you obsess over?

Are you guys smiley Nazis, or what? What’s with your hatred of the LOL? And animated GIFs?

Leave your inquiries in the comments, and we’ll answer and categorize accordingly. And, if there’s something about the site you think we ought to explain, please feel free to put down a few lines on that, too. And then, snort them. Can’t waste the good powder, now.
