Ok, Enough Teasing
by SB Sarah | by SB Sarah | November 14, 2008 | Friday at 8:01 pm | 102 CommentsEnough teasing. We’re ridiculously amused by our cover, and it’s about time we showed it to you, so, you ready?
It’s a work of art, a book cover… well, really it’s visual game we call Find the Hidden Phalli with your hosts, Sarah, Candy, and Touchstone/Fireside.
The cover of the Smart Bitch Book, Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches’ Guide to Romance, due out 14 April 2009, isn’t at Amazon yet (sorry folks) so this (and our email inbox) is the only place you can find it, and a few other hidden images.

but that IS more teasing - the little picture box says ‘no image available’

Maya: Oops. Amazon doesn’t have it yet. MY BAD.
Click the other link.

Hey, I used an ‘instrument’ shaped like that piece of pottery like that in a sex scene recently… :)
Angela James said on 11.14.08 at 08:21 PM • [link]
I’m super excited to read this book, you guys. The cover is awesome and hello…cover quote from Nora? How hard does that rock. I want a cover quote from Nora! (never mind the fact that I don’t write anything except a blog). I can’t wait until April. Wheee!
SB Sarah said on 11.14.08 at 08:24 PM • [link]
Angela: Thank you! You rock.
Anne: Our editor, Sulay, is going to be so pleased to hear that, because she thought the “sculpture” was the funniest part of the image.
Jaci Burton said on 11.14.08 at 08:25 PM • [link]
This is the most awesomest cover ever!
And what Angie said about the Nora quote. Holy sheet!
Meredith Duran said on 11.14.08 at 08:29 PM • [link]
That’s one gorgeous cover. I love the color scheme, and the retro 50s feel. Bonus points for the suggestive sculpture and the woman being a redhead!
spinsterwitch said on 11.14.08 at 08:35 PM • [link]
That rocks! And here’s how you know I’m from San Francisco…when Angela said she used something like this in a sex scene recently, I pictured an S/M type “scene” in real life.
Mel-O-Drama said on 11.14.08 at 08:38 PM • [link]
Ditto Angie on the cover quote
and OMGWOW what a great cover. It’s bodice-rippertastic! Congrats, ladies. And thanks for ending the teasing. Was rather mean.
Jeaniene Frost said on 11.14.08 at 08:45 PM • [link]
Finally, the cover! Love the clinch, the dark-haired hero, and my favorite - the redheaded heroine. Whoo-hoo! Can’t wait to get my hands on the book. I bet it’s informative and snark-tastic!
Helen M said on 11.14.08 at 08:53 PM • [link]
ZOMG! The cover is awesome, and I cannot wait for the book to come out.
Imogen Howson said on 11.14.08 at 08:53 PM • [link]
Oh. When will this be in the UK?
(and it looks wonderful—I’m so looking forward to reading!)
JenB said on 11.14.08 at 08:58 PM • [link]
When I opened the image, my eyes went straight to the two objects on the table (right side) that look like butt plugs.
Does that tell you what subgenre I read the most? lol
HelenKay Dimon said on 11.14.08 at 09:10 PM • [link]
Fabulous! Love the retro look and the Nora quote is just about the best thing ever. Congrats!!
Lynn M said on 11.14.08 at 09:20 PM • [link]
Ohhh, it’s already on my Amazon Wish List! I can’t wait to read this. Fabulous cover, and a quote from La Nora deserves big kudos. Congratulations, ladies. You’ve hit the big big time!
azteclady said on 11.14.08 at 09:30 PM • [link]
April… okay, late b-day present for self *bouncing* this is sooooo cool!
Anya said on 11.14.08 at 09:30 PM • [link]
Lol, I love the sculptures and the woman in her little pink dress. Very naughty. Can’t wait for it to be April! Congrats Sarah and Candy!
Jessa Slade said on 11.14.08 at 09:34 PM • [link]
Yup, the pink French maid/nightie is delightful, and his undone string tie… Perfection. I have friends who need a copy too, so they can finally understand the wonder of romance.
Lyra said on 11.14.08 at 09:35 PM • [link]
Congrats! That looks fantastic.
I’d love to know how you communicated your desires (especially for that sculpture) to the art department.
Becky said on 11.14.08 at 09:38 PM • [link]
Love the cover!
Will the Smart Bitch Manifesto be available on Kindle? Those teases over at Amazon never seem to say until it’s ready for download.
Leslie Dicken said on 11.14.08 at 09:50 PM • [link]
Congrats, ladies! Looks awesome! :-)
Carrie Lofty said on 11.14.08 at 09:51 PM • [link]
Retro = win. Congrats, you two. Revel in your awesomeness!
Suze said on 11.14.08 at 10:08 PM • [link]
Whee! I love that both their faces are flushed, and that she’s NOT using her free hand to maintain her balance, but to either tug down or tug up her little nightie. The cover is awesome!
SonomaLass said on 11.14.08 at 10:12 PM • [link]
Woo and Hoo! And also w00t!! That cover is full of retro awesomeness and romance mojo all over the place. I cannot wait to have it on my shelf. And YES, I will be buying a REAL DEAD TREE copy, and probably a few extras as gifts.
(And holy sh*t, who better than La Nora for a cover blurb!?! You rock, Ms. Roberts!)
Since no one else has shouted it out, I want to recognize the lady who knows a heel when she sees one—Rae Kay for the win!
CT said on 11.14.08 at 10:33 PM • [link]
In saying this, I’d miss Thanksgiving, Christmas, AND my birthday but….MAN, I wish it was APRIL already.
Shiloh Walker said on 11.14.08 at 10:36 PM • [link]
Man, it’s about time! Thanks for putting an end to the teasing.
Willa said on 11.14.08 at 10:43 PM • [link]
I cannot wait to read this book! Perhaps a few teaser excerpts for us while we wait and pine for the release date? (said in a wheedling tone.)
Anon76 said on 11.14.08 at 10:48 PM • [link]
Well, I’m thinking the hidden phalli is on the back of her left leg, just below her knee. Right there in the bottom corner.
Of course, I’m blind as a bat lately, and my small screen doesn’t help much, LOL.
Joanne said on 11.14.08 at 10:51 PM • [link]
Woot! Really Excellent cover!
and yeah, if Nora stops writing she can make a decent living selling cover quote tattoos.
Man, I was waaaaaaaaaay off on the headboard pic….
Elizabeth Wadsworth said on 11.14.08 at 10:54 PM • [link]
The book looks great! It’ll be out just in time for my sister’s birthday, too—I’ll have to order multipole copies.
Leeann Burke said on 11.14.08 at 10:56 PM • [link]
Congrats on the fabulous cover! I noticed that you are already selling nicely at Amazon. Woo Hoo!
I’ll be picking up a copy once it hits the store shelves that’s for certain.
Congrats again ladies!
Jill Sorenson said on 11.14.08 at 10:56 PM • [link]
A Nora Roberts cover quote? Hot damn! Looks great.
Michele said on 11.14.08 at 11:24 PM • [link]
Loved it! And the Nora quote- WOW! You all rock!
Now, start torturing us between now and next April with exerpts. I can take it.
Laura Vivanco said on 11.14.08 at 11:42 PM • [link]
Immi, it’s already listed at Amazon.co.uk too, with 14 April 2009 as the date they give too. The Book Depository‘s got the same details.
HaloKun said on 11.14.08 at 11:57 PM • [link]
I’m ordering this for my store even though we don’t carry romance novels, just because that cover is so superfantabulous! Can’t wait!
Silver James said on 11.15.08 at 12:04 AM • [link]
w00t! Y’all rock! Going right now to preorder. And I’m thinking there’s something ‘phalli’ about her hair, up toward the top. A quote from La Nora is to die for! So completely awesome!
Kate Pearce said on 11.15.08 at 12:19 AM • [link]
So cool-it looks like something I would’ve read on the bus to school in the 80’s-so absolutely perfect!
Megan Frampton said on 11.15.08 at 12:23 AM • [link]
That is a fantastic cover. I wishlisted it, too. Yay!
Imogen Howson said on 11.15.08 at 12:26 AM • [link]
Thank you, Laura! Another person who’s going to be buying a late birthday present for herself here!
ttthomas said on 11.15.08 at 12:43 AM • [link]
As appealing as it sounds (the game: Find the Hidden Phalli), uh, no. ::snort:: But the dame on the cover, fabubitch, the quote from la Nora, coup de grace, and you guys gettting a book published, totally Smartful. Very cool. I headed straight over to Amazon and pre-ordered two. One for me, and one for a friend. Good job, SaraCan!
ev said on 11.15.08 at 01:20 AM • [link]
AWESOME!!!! I can’t wait for this to hit the “shelves”.
and I just applied for an Amazon Visa, which I know will kill me in the long run, but I am tired of going to the bookstore and not finding what I want.
Now I just have to keep myself from getting a Kindle with it.
ev said on 11.15.08 at 01:23 AM • [link]
Never mind. I just went over and pre-ordered the book.
yeah, this card will be a baaad thing.
Janet Mullany said on 11.15.08 at 01:41 AM • [link]
Fabulous…I especially liked the enormous thumb on her left leg. It is a thumb, isn’t it?
rebyj said on 11.15.08 at 02:52 AM • [link]
What? Cassie Edwards didn’t wanna give you a cover quote?
hehe Don’t HIT ME!
LOVE the cover and having a Nora Roberts quote on the front is a spectacular achievement on it’s own merit. Congrats and hurry up APRIL!
I wanna hear it in audio with Sarah and Candy narrating LOL
JenTurner said on 11.15.08 at 03:40 AM • [link]
Congratulations, Bitches!
I can’t wait to read it. :)
Ciar Cullen said on 11.15.08 at 03:45 AM • [link]
Awesome. But couldn’t you find another three-handed woman? That would have really rocked. Many congrats, and on Nora’s name too! Can’t wait!
Marta Acosta said on 11.15.08 at 03:59 AM • [link]
Congrats, chickadees! A very fun, very heaving-bosomy cover, and I dig the retro graphics.
amy lane said on 11.15.08 at 04:21 AM • [link]
Congrats! It’s awesome—and I’ve spotted TWO!

What? Cassie Edwards didn’t wanna give you a cover quote?
————————————-
Isn’t it enough that you people set out to destroy her career and almost caused her death?
In case you don’t know, which I know for a fact you have been told, Cassie Edwards suffered a massive stroke due to the stress you idiots put on her.
I hope you can live with yourselves knowing what you did almost cost this woman her life. You have deprived her grandchildren of their grandmother. You have caused a lot of innocent people much heartache by your actions.
Everyone is blaming you and your cronies for what happened. Not just her fans, fan club members, etc. I’m talking publishers, authors, editors, and more. I hope almost killing someone was worth the 15 minutes of fame.
If you have any reason to think this is a lie, contact Carol Stacy at Romantic Times and I’m sure she’ll verify the information for you.
A lot of Cassie’s fans plan on being at the RT convention in Orlando just so they can attend your blogging seminar. Instead of it being about the art of blogging maybe it should be about the art of how to destroy a person’s life.
Bonnie said on 11.15.08 at 04:35 AM • [link]
I feel like a giant drag here (and clearly in the minority), but I don’t like it. :( Maybe I’m missing something? I dunno… it’s just too typical or something.
I’ll buy it and read it, but I me no likie. Sorry.
Miri Ellie said on 11.15.08 at 04:36 AM • [link]
It’s absolutely great. The object in the background reminds me of an advertisement for discreet sex toys.
darlynne said on 11.15.08 at 04:38 AM • [link]
Love the cover and can’t wait to see what’s inside. Congratulations, SBs!
Julie Leto said on 11.15.08 at 04:42 AM • [link]
Fabulous cover…can’t wait for the book!!!
Marilyn said on 11.15.08 at 04:46 AM • [link]
Congrats on the book. I so look forward to reading it. You guys have brought many laughs to this tired old bitch. WAY TO GO.
Nicole said on 11.15.08 at 05:07 AM • [link]
I pre-ordered this back in the beginning of October. Great to see the cover! Can’t wait to read the book when it finally comes out. Even the husband might read it.
kerry said on 11.15.08 at 05:31 AM • [link]
Wait, someone is actually suggesting that people here caused someone’s stroke? Wha?
I mean, I am sorry that she had a stroke if this is true. That’s very sad.
However, I hardly think that pointing out someone’s unethical behavior constitutes “causing them a stroke.” If there had been no untoward behavior (ie plagiarism) in the first place, then there wouldn’t have been a “controversy.” Plagiarism is wrong, it’s stealing, and it’s also shafting all of those “fans” that paid good money for a book they thought was original. Again, if the intellectual theft hadn’t happened, there wouldn’t have been any “stress.”
Not sure what “Cassie’s fans” hope to gain by attending the RT seminar, but is that supposed to be a threat? Because addressing meanness (in your opinion) with more meanness is…supposed to solve something? Undo the poor woman’s stroke? Make “Cassie’s fans” feel better? Grow up, people.
ev said on 11.15.08 at 05:43 AM • [link]
First- I think you should send a copy to Doc Turtle for review.
Secondly- Kelli, I am sorry you feel that way, but I believe strongly in Karma. what you put in is what you get out. The only person who destroyed Cassie Edward’s life is Cassie Edwards, IF you are going to blame the stroke on anything besides a medical problem.
If the so called fans are going to show at RT and try and disrupt what is supposed to be a good time for everyone, not an open bitch session because they fail to see it for what it is, than that is sad and I hope that they are escorted out quietly so that those who paid to hear a session get what they paid for. Not a cheap floor show.
katiebabs said on 11.15.08 at 05:43 AM • [link]
Great cover and awesome title! Congrats on your success ladies!
ev said on 11.15.08 at 05:44 AM • [link]
by the way, the chick on the cover has wonky fingers.
Alisha Rai said on 11.15.08 at 05:51 AM • [link]
Love the cover. Love how the woman seems to have curly sideburns. Or is that just me? Tres cool, in any case. Totally buying this for my sister, the romance h8ter.
Midknyt said on 11.15.08 at 06:02 AM • [link]
On the Cassie Edwards thing:
First off, a stroke is caused by a blood clot blocking blood flow to the brain or by bleeding inside the brain or the space around it. Neither of which are stress induced - that’s something you got from bad soap operas. The most likely cause? The woman is in her 70s. It happens all the time.
Second, if the stress from the whole situation was able to cause a stroke, the person at fault would be herself. No one made her plagiarize, and she should be happy she got away with it so long. If I got thrown in jail for stealing, and got hurt while in jail, would you blame the person that caught me stealing? She did something wrong and the resulting career issues are a result of what she did - we just pointed it out.
Finally, if you hate us so much and are blaming us for the woman’s demise, why are you sitting there reading through posts that aren’t Edwards related, as well as all the comments that follow? I come to this site for my own personal enjoyment and I don’t even read all the comments. That’s quite a time-intensive obsession you have there.
As for the cover: Sorry, I’m with Bonnie. I’m not loving it, but maybe I’m not just a big retro girl.
Midknyt said on 11.15.08 at 06:04 AM • [link]
Oops. I meant “maybe I’m just not a big retro girl.”
Ashley said on 11.15.08 at 06:20 AM • [link]
I love the retro cover! Even the font is great. Clearly you ladies have done your homework and know what makes the perfect cover. And her fingers aren’t funny, they’re all tensed and spread outty. Will this only be available through Amazon? Bookstores too right? I’m going to tell my manager to order this for our store. If he asks why, I’ll explain your popularity and that your book will induce your fans to buy more of the stores romance novels. Money for everyone! I love you guys, you’re like my very own friends. Thanks for such a fun site.
Alisha Rai said on 11.15.08 at 06:28 AM • [link]
You know, I just spent five minutes scratching my head at the cover and wondering why people were seeing CE in it. Silly me, not reading all the comments.
The WTFery of the internet.
Morag W said on 11.15.08 at 06:30 AM • [link]
Check out his collar-bone(er). One of the plant’s leaves look suspicious as well.
It looks fantastic, and I can’t wait to read!
reaction76- it takes me what feels like 76 years to de-lurk
Jennifer C said on 11.15.08 at 06:43 AM • [link]
I’m chomping on the bit to get it already.
I can’t wait until you start running contests to get advanced copies.
Joanne said on 11.15.08 at 06:47 AM • [link]
See, this is what you get when you try to have a life. I went out to dinner with my husband tonight and came back to .....
wait for it…....
Cassie Edwards?
WTF?
sadieloree said on 11.15.08 at 07:32 AM • [link]
I can’t wait to read your book!!! And the release day is my birthday!! Yay!
Lissa said on 11.15.08 at 08:03 AM • [link]
Can’t wait to read the book - if it is a funny as your blog is, it will be worth the wait.
As for the game - is anyone else noticing the cutouts in the headboard? They appear to be very phalli to me….
game84 - yep, I bet we could make a game of coming up with 84 images out of this cover!
Nathalie Gray said on 11.15.08 at 08:59 AM • [link]
And the word BITCHES is right there front and center, not in tiny font below something less *dramatic hand to forehead* shocking. I’m so excited. And a quote from La Nora! Dude!
It was a thumb!
Kaffy said on 11.15.08 at 09:55 AM • [link]
http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/index.php/weblog/comments/ok-enough-teasing/#74702
That’s what I thought, too, but I’m pretty sure after a prolonged look that that’s supposed to be the sole of her foot. Or a phallus.
eaeaea said on 11.15.08 at 11:03 AM • [link]
Great cover - that’s one I’d be proud to hold up in public!
I know the game is find-the-phalli, but I’m having fun imagining what the heroine is doing with her right hand…
J Davis said on 11.15.08 at 11:50 AM • [link]
Not ready for Christmas? *sob*
I’m so excited for y’all! And me too, cuz I gets to read it.
Nora Roberts said on 11.15.08 at 02:08 PM • [link]
Kelli, I’ll say what others have been too polite to say.
You’re an idiot.
I bet I know more authors, editors and publishers than you do. Oddly, none I know blame Sarah or anyone else who posts here for Cassie Edwards’ career troubles, and certainly no one with even a few grains of sense inside the tiniest of brains blames anyone for Ms. Edwards’ stroke.
Your attitude is sad; your accusations and threats are vile.
That makes you a sad, vile idiot.
Lurking on the blog of someone you obviously dislike intensely makes you pathetic.
I think that covers it.
Fae Sutherland said on 11.15.08 at 03:49 PM • [link]
*sing-songs* I love Nora Roberts, I love Nora Roberts…
I’m not a big fan of that cover, though I don’t even care cause I can’t wait to get my grubby hands on it anyway! I think that I don’t like it is because I was hoping for some real eye-burning bad clinch snark for the ironic lulz. Ah well, perhaps I’ll just paste a Cassie Edwards cover over it. ;D
Bonnie Dee said on 11.15.08 at 04:34 PM • [link]
I didn’t want to point this out until I checked on it, but the plural of zero should be zeroes (with an e), at least according to this. Maybe it’s too late to change and maybe it really doesn’t matter that much. Hell, maybe there are alternate ways to pluralize zero for all I know, but I thought you might want to know.
Hilcia said on 11.15.08 at 05:04 PM • [link]
It’s a choir here—**singing** I love Nora Roberts, I love Nora Roberts… she said it all.
I love retro covers, this one reminds me of the old Harlequins—so yes, I love this cover. Kudos on the book, I’ll be waiting for it… oh, and on the Roberts blurb **2 thumbs up**
The finding the phally game? I see it in the girls leg, back of the knee and back of the thigh… all done with shading and paint. That’s my take on it, lol!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Rainbow Tea said on 11.15.08 at 05:42 PM • [link]
I give. Everything is phallic in that cover. Which makes it fantastic, and a 100% purchase for me. Wish it came out before Christmas, it would make an awesome stocking stuffer.
Can I ask a wee question? Why is it funny that she’s a redhead? Were redhead covers overwhelmingly popular at some point?
(Spam word: sound18. Is this going to be made into an audio book at some point? Any plans?)
ev said on 11.15.08 at 05:56 PM • [link]
She’s playing the same game, but with the sense of touch not sight.
No one said you could have a life, so you have only yourself to blame. ;}

ev said on 11.15.08 at 06:00 PM • [link]
Thank you La Nora for putting it so succinctly.
J.C. Wilder said on 11.15.08 at 07:10 PM • [link]
Cover - fab cover, I just want to know if the chick is pulling down her skirt or pulling it UP. :)
Kelli - oh for heaven’s sake. A stoke is not caused by one traumatic incident - its usually caused by a blood clot or a lifetime of high blood pressure.
Blaming the SB’s for her illness makes as much sense as blaming her readers - all that pressure to produce more books could cause more potential damage than a public spanking.
My verify word is length89…wow, the hero is THAT BIG?
Alyssa Day said on 11.15.08 at 08:04 PM • [link]
I absolutely love it; also pre-ordered it. Also am very amused that when I clicked on your name on the amazon site, it pulled up a book by Oliver Wendell Holmes - one of my *other* heroes.
Nora Roberts said on 11.15.08 at 09:03 PM • [link]
~but the plural of zero should be zeroes (with an e), at least according to this. ~
Actually, the plural is correct either way. Personally, if I’m pluralizing zero the noun, I do zeroes. The verb, I leave off the ‘e’.
I have no idea why.
Miri said on 11.15.08 at 10:21 PM • [link]
I have the link tucked into my wish list file, I have the date marked on my calendar! This is going to be so awesome, I can’t wait!
About the cover: The headboard looks like a time lapse image of an erection, but of course you knew that did’nt you! I can’t decide yet if it’s accending or decending though.
Ashley said on 11.15.08 at 10:53 PM • [link]
Nora Roberts, I am going to start reading your books just because I love the way you replied to Kelli.
Bev Stephans said on 11.15.08 at 11:18 PM • [link]
I was going to say the headboard looked like various stages of penile engorgement but I like Miri’s time-lapse photography better. That’s why I’m not a writer….can’t come up with this good stuff.
Nora, thank you for blowing Kelli off. She got exactly what she deserved.
Sarah and Candy, awesome cover. I absolutely love it!
Arethusa said on 11.16.08 at 02:29 AM • [link]
Oh my god, you guys, there’s a penis on her leg! That + butt plug vase + Nora Roberts cover quote (woooooo!!!) = cover full of win! Can’t wait to read it.
krsylu said on 11.16.08 at 04:48 AM • [link]
When I saw the headboard, I immediately thought, “Sperm!”
Moth said on 11.16.08 at 05:21 AM • [link]
There’s not enough man-titty. I expected better from you bitches. (;P)
rebyj said on 11.16.08 at 05:53 AM • [link]
I’m sorry, didn’t mean to start anything w/ Edward’s fans. She’s professionally a joke so I joke about her. I have no interest in her personally as I am not one of her fans but hold no ill wishes or anything, I hope she heals from her snark induced stroke.
Now,back to hollering WHOOOTS at the book cover and release details!!!!
ms bookjunkie said on 11.16.08 at 09:18 PM • [link]
Awesome cover! And a Nora Roberts cover quote! WIN!
I think the cover is perfect. Charming, retro, not embarrassing to read in public, and a perfect conversation starter. It sort of reminds me of one of those old movie posters (I haven’t had the privilege to see romance novels of this ‘retrotude’). Anyway, congratulations! I am so looking forward to getting my hands on this book…
Joining choir. **singing** I love Nora Roberts! (. . .And I totally loved The Pagan Stone as I glommed it this weekend. Now I have to go back and reread for more enjoyment.)
Karibelle said on 11.16.08 at 09:42 PM • [link]
Love the cover!
Love Nora Roberts!
Love seeing idiots put in their place!
Yep. FULL of win!
Anony Miss said on 11.17.08 at 01:27 AM • [link]
I hope there’s a step-back (that’s what they’re called, right? the foldover dowhats?) with more ‘typical’ cover snarkage, because there’s so much they didn’t snark - o faces, bodices themselves, mysterious third arms, “ow you’re on my hair” and of course, no unbuttoned tucked in shirts.
I only started reading this blog because of the cover snark, you see… :)
sara said on 11.17.08 at 07:44 AM • [link]
YOU GOT BLURBED BY NORA OMG!
Rustybelle said on 11.17.08 at 03:43 PM • [link]
Is the penis in her dress? It starts in the crease between his fingers and ends at his wrist.
Or I’m just seeing things.
Also, I’m going to have to try and work, “Is the penis in her dress?” into a real life conversation.

The bottom part of the candlestick, just above the base. Little stubby stiffy. Cute, actually.

To: J.C. Wilder, I’m glad you have a degree in medicine. She didn’t have a blood clot or a history of high blood pressure. She hadn’t been sick at all.
Ask Sarah what was said to her at the Historical Research seminar by Bertrice Small at RT last year when she mentioned Cassie to her.
To: Nora Roberts, I would rather be an idiot than a complete stuck up, snobby asshole. I have met a lot of authors and I have to say you take the prize in being a snob. Your lack of personality comes out a little too strong.

And by the way if everyone thinks Mrs. Edwards did something wrong why are they still publishing her books and have started reprinting her old ones?

Kelli -
Well, the Gor books are still available in print, as are many RL Stine and Christopher Pike books, as well as the rather…suspect-in-originality works of a certain Ms. Clare…therefore, being a published author is not necessarily a certification of quality work.
Furtehrmore, Nora Roberts has more class at the tip of her pinky than you - a lurker, a troll and a general all-round bonehead - coudl ever hope to muster.
Strokes sometimes have utterly no prior warning; indeed much of the time they seem to come out of the blue. it might do you well to crack a book or peruse wikipedia, at the very least, before yu run amok bleating that the evil witchy bad-nasty-wrong jive-turkey voodoo’ majickz of this board’s ~*negative energy vibes!*~ caused an elderly woman to have a stroke.
At seventy, her age puts her in the risk category. It’s that simple; the human body runs down and has issues when it ages. We did not voodoo-curse her by discussing her plagiarism (and colonialist, prejudiced attitudes toward native americans/aboriginal people); indeed she’s lucky she pulled the scam off for as long as she did.
In this age of the interpipes and the myriad communities thereupon, it’s hard to get away with being foolish.
Case in point: Ms. Edwards, and you.
