Vagaries of Publishing
I don't comment much on other writers' or publishers' behaviors in my blog, as I think that actions speak louder than words. My esteemed collegue, 
louise_bohmer recently wrote an excellent post on why we ought to return to civility.
Now, I'm not naive enough to think that just because Louise or I say "play nice kids" that the mean boys and girls will go away, even though Goddess knows there's plenty of room in the sandbox for everyone to play, so I think that instead of naming names or berating anyone, I'm gonna talk about who I love in publishing and why.
Here are a few, in no particular order.
angylinni, our art director at Aphrodite's and my original partner-in-crime. Ang is sharp, funny and her design work is top notch.
sithdreams, aka Kayleigh Jamison, our editor-in-chief. Kay is a fantastic writer, and a great judge of character. I'm also pleased to mention that Miss Kay is now a cross-published author, with works forthcoming from Freya's Bower, Tease and Red Rose Publishing. Congrats, Kay!
katrina_strauss, our media coordinator at Aphrodite's. Kitty is brilliant, and she's got a keen grasp of the business. She too, is cross published now with Freya's Bower. I wish I wrote as well as Kitty. She's who I read in my spare time! ;-)
hlglne, our esteemed editor, whose energy, drive, and general life force are a delight to be around. She truly is a healing line.
louise_bohmer! Louise is a fabulous writer in general, and an all-around class act. I'm proud to be a mod at her boards.
The Sultry Sirens. They are a marvelous, welcoming, supportive group of authors. If I went through them all individually I'd be here all day.
Sabrina Luna is smart, sweet, funny and can always be counted on for great fiction and professionalism. We at Aphrodite's love Sabrina.
I could go on and on about the authors we work with at Aphrodite's - Yolanda Sfetsos,unity_of_hours, aka Nikki Watson, tq_kimber...we have a phenomenal lineup of writers! You guys rock, really.
Review and chat sites...CoffeeTime Romance, The Romance Studio, Fallen Angel Reviews, Love Romances Cafe, TwoLips Reviews ... we love you guys because you give us chat time to meet and talk to our readers, and you generally support us and our books.
The good in our community far outweigh the bad, although I think the bad apples are trying hard sometimes to make us all forget that. May you all stay gold, no matter who tries to tarnish you.
Much love,
--H
