Cocktales by The Cocky Collective | Spreading the Word #cockygate #fightlikearomancereader
If you can't see/watch the above video then click here to watch it.
by The Cocky Collective
Author's Book Description :
- 'Cocktales' is a limited-release anthology (available *only* from May 26 – August 26, 2018) of original, never before published material, some of which is raw and unedited. Each story was specifically written for this anthology.
The goal of the Cocktales Anthology is to raise funds to fight against obstruction of creative expression. Specifically, what we believe are obstruction attempts through the trademarking of common (single) words for titicular use in books / or as a book series (eBooks, print, and audio).
*ALL* net profits will be donated to:
1) Authors already impacted by creative-obstruction (10%), and
2) Romance Writers of America (RWA) (90%) as a general donation intended for their Advocacy Fund.
Disclaimer: This anthology is not being conducted on behalf of RWA, nor does RWA endorse this anthology or effort. They have, however, graciously agreed to accept the funds.

Nice article from @MaryDube_, a fellow Texan-in-exile in CA and journalist for USAToday, about the "(CENSORED)tales" anthology. I hope she keeps following the story of this anthology - she may have to write a new one very soon!https://t.co/JWCTJlELp9

We're Getting "Cocky" Over Here ... | Fangirling @MistressofReads @BSommerland @SashaWhite @CasSharpAuthor
Some of Jessica's Thoughts First ...
An author I'd never heard about before (@FaleenaHopkins) thought others were copying her so she trademarked the word Cocky (as it's in her book titles) and is now telling other authors who've used the word that they need to change their novel's titles. ☹😡 Truly a bad move.
— Jess@From Me to You (@fromjesstoyou) May 5, 2018
You know what she did in this varied erotic area of romance novels is the equivalent of someone trademarking "cozy" in titles from the mystery genre. Or the equivalent of trademarking "Amish" for the romance genre. #cockygate #byefaleena pic.twitter.com/od9ENlROBE
— Jess@From Me to You (@fromjesstoyou) May 8, 2018
Sad to say though I believe the "publicity stunt" part because I searched "cocky" in Amazon and for like the first two pages it's mostly her books 😞 #cockygate #byefaleena
— Jess@From Me to You (@fromjesstoyou) May 8, 2018
I'm considering doing a #CockyGate video series. I will read/review a book that has the word COCKY in the title OR has an author that wants to join who's created a fake book cover w/ a changed book title. I'm ONLY taking submissions from authors though. Submit away if interested!
