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

I received this letter in my inbox a few moments ago from Travis Livieri, who worked with Paul Tolme on the original story about black footed ferrets, and who is currently the Executive Director of Prairie Wildlife Research:

it’s really encouraging to see so many people become interested in black-footed ferrets.  It’s obvious to me that your website users are very passionate about romance novels and I can really appreciate passion for something.  I’ve been working in the field with black-footed ferrets for 12 years, giving my best to restore this beautiful creature and I’m always amazed at the interest and generosity of folks when they learn about black-footed ferrets.

Paul has been a classy and generous gentleman in how he has handled the ‘controversy’ and we’ve both enjoyed the buzz this has created, particularly because it has focused attention on the plight of black-footed ferrets and endangered species.  We’ve seen an immediate increase in the ‘adoption’ of black-footed ferrets (www.prairiewildlife.org and www.blackfootedferret.org , same adoption program) and the donation challenge by Nora Roberts with Defenders of Wildlife are tremendous examples of how wonderful romance novel readers are!  I harbor no ill will towards Cassie Edwards and I sincerely hope there are no negative ramifications for Cassie, the romance novel community or anyone else.

I actually ordered a copy of the book for myself and will always smile when I think about romance novels.

Have a great day!

Travis
