EC for Books: Early June Update
Reminder: Ellora’s Cave has rebranded as EC for Books, so all posts will contain both the old and new branding in the first paragraph for a while. Since last October, EC for Books/Ellora’s Cave has completely reverted two New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Authors: Amanda Ashley and Lora Leigh. But one of the […]
EC for Books: May Update
Ellora’s Cave has rebranded as EC for Books, so I’ll be using that in my headers from now on. I will keep the header graphic as it was, though. I’m torn about the rebranding for two reasons: often, a rebranding for a troubled company signals a new direction that only hastens its demise, especially in […]

Ellora’s Cave: Diving into Data
Quite a bit of Ellora’s Cave news in this post, including: First quarter publications update; A bigger look at historical author counts; A comparison of author and book counts on various plaforms (tl;dr: they don’t agree!)

Ellora’s Cave Titles Per Month Decline I’ve previously shown a chart about the long decline in Ellora’s Cave’s titles […]
Ellora’s Cave: Docket Item 69 Now Available (Marc Randazza Was Right)
I’d forgotten to set a due date on one January to-do item, so I missed that Ellora’s Cave v. Dear Author docket item 69 became available last week. I finally thought to check today, and have uploaded it to my Dropbox and also updated the docket. Docket item 69 is a transcript of the case […]
Ellora’s Cave: Some Laurann Dohner Title Reversions
I’ve suspected this was coming for some time: yesterday, some of New York Times Bestselling Author Laurann Dohner’s titles are no longer available from Ellora’s Cave. The only plausible explanation for same is that the titles have reverted. Because Laurann Dohner has been the only bestselling author for Ellora’s Cave (to hit the national lists […]
