Bloomsbury changes cover: MAGIC UNDER GLASS!

In case you haven't heard, Bloomsbury formally apologized for the white lady on the cover of MAGIC UNDER GLASS!!! Yay!


Very classy, Bloomsbury :).
I always expect the worst in situations like this one, especially since Bloomsbury did this before, but they proved once again that they listen to their readers and did the right thing.
Hopefully there isn't a third time... oy. In the meantime, THANK YOU to everyone who got involved and contacted them :). This is proof that we CAN make a difference if we band together! Rock on!
Also, speaking of you guys being awesome, don't forget to spread the Book Love this week, and get your entries in to my Awesome Contest!!

What do you use Twitter for?

I admit it. I'm a Twitter N00b.

So far I tweet, but I'm worried that maybe I'm not using the site to its full potential.

Many writers say it's crucial for their networking, but I can't help but wonder--am I doin' it right?

A lot of you are internet experts and navigate social networking sites with the greatest of ease. How the heck do you guys do that, already?

Stealing a page out of Nathan Bransford's book, You tell Me:

How do you utilize Twitter as a writer?

How has it helped/hindered you?

I'd love to hear from you!

Thank you in advance for your brilliant comments :).

Support a Writer Who Needs our Help!

Writer Aaron Allston needs our help!

He is best known for his bestselling Star Wars novels, but also for his independent films. Recently he suffered a heartattack. While he's making a great recovery, his lack of health insurance (being a writer) is becoming an enormous problem.

The Aaron Allston Donation Fund and Auction has been set up to allow writers and friends to donate either money or items to auction. Please help if you feel led.

Click here to get to the Donation Fund website, and you can access the post on Colleen Lindsay's blog here where I read about the situation.

Thank you, and have a great Saturday!
