Dear Cheryl, That's your name, according to this article, though you refuse to give your last name. I don't blame you. If I was going to do such a douchebag thing as give out fat-shaming, emotionally damaging letters to innocent kids, I'd hide my identity too. The thing is, I consider myself to be an [...]

We woke up this morning to discover that the entire Seduced Saga and Kiss Me in Paris have been pulled from Kobo during a company-wide sweep in which they unpublished all books that had been uploaded through Draft2Digital, among other places. At this point, we haven't been told directly WHY Kobo unpublished EVERYTHING from EVERYWHERE, [...]
