WHEN & WHERE AM I WEDNESDAYS are a weekly bookish memes, hosted by Jess of From Me to You ... Video, Photography, & Book Reviews. Anyone can play along! To participate here's what you need to do:
Based on the book your currently reading -- tell us when and where you are in your book, and possibly what "you're" (meaning the characters) doing or who "you" (meaning the characters) are with.
Try NOT to include spoilers!!!
Make sure to share the book information [title, author and/or book cover] so if someone likes what you write they can add that book to their TBR list.
Today I'm showing off The Cocky Collective's "Cocktales" and sharing my on-going (at least until I officially read through it all) reading vlog for this anthology.
👉 Even though Jess is doing the reading vlog and rating the individual novellas STAY TUNED for her official book review for the full novel once she completes reading it all. 👈
'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.
Matilda mentions my BookTube account in her video! SO .. this is a post showing off that video and giving you a meet-and-greet of Matilda's BookTube Account.
Here's the legal threat I received from her lawyer. Personal details about lawyers omitted because I'm that much of a stand-up guy (everybody deserves a lawyer and no qualms with someone doing the job).
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
