Ellora’s Cave: Defense Pulls a Mic Drop!

September 2, 2015 By Deirdre

Ellora's Cave Blog Post Header

So Ellora’s Cave finally filed a status report. (boring) And Ellora’s Cave filed their Motion for Summary Judgment. (yawn) tl;dr: We didn’t do anything wrong, it’s all lies, we don’t owe six figures. Here, have a sworn statement. Clarification: Note that this is an MSJ against Dear Author’s/Jane Litte’s counterclaims, not the whole case. The […]

August 20, 2015 By Deirdre

Ellora's Cave Blog Post Header

Ellora’s Cave author Ann Jacobs has filed an Intervening Counterclaim in the Ellora’s Cave v. Dear Author case. (Here, as with other similar situations, I’ll refer to her by her pseudonym.) From page 1 of the counterclaim: The future value of the specific performance and declaratory judgment is unknown, but the damages incurred from Ellora’s […]

Ellora’s Cave: Headquarters for Sale and Lawsuit Update

August 1, 2015 By Deirdre

Ellora's Cave Blog Post Header

I got word about a week ago that Ellora’s Cave’s headquarters were for sale. This building isn’t owned by EC, but by sister company Brannon-Engler Properties, Ltd. Per Dear Author’s Curious post, one of the things alleged in the Brashear case was that the property was rented to Ellora’s Cave at inflated prices. I had […]

May 26, 2015 By Deirdre

Ellora's Cave Blog Post Header

Today, Judge Adams issued a ruling in the Ellora’s Cave v. Dear Author case relating to @pubnt’s letter to the court in February that the judge interpreted as a Motion to Quash (the defense subpoena to Twitter to determine the identity/identities of the @pubnt account). From the ruling (note: I’ve replaced Jane Litte’s legal name […]

Ellora's Cave Blog Post Header

First, I’ll quote the long email that Tina Engler sent to an Ellora’s Cave email list, then discuss various points afterward. At the end, there will be a wrap-up section about “loyalty.” Sent: Tuesday, April 7, 2015 11:46 AM Subject: [ec_biz] Rumor Mill 2 (Long) 1) Amazon pays its self-published authors every 60 days; they […]

Ellora’s Cave: EC’s Author Loops Letter

April 4, 2015 By Deirdre

Ellora's Cave Blog Post Header

On March 29th, Tina Engler sent this email out to one of the Ellora’s Cave email loops, and I considered it not interesting enough to post. However, given the various concerns I’ve been reading in various places, I felt it was worthy of posting and commenting. Also, a Lolita Lopez update at the end. 1) […]

Dear Author: More on Jane Litte/Jen Frederick

March 27, 2015 By Deirdre

I’ve been teasing apart the feelings around Dear Author’s Jane Litte revealing herself to be romance author Jen Frederick, and I’ve been reading a lot of comments around. I’d also like to thank Olivia Waite for her comment on my last post, which was super helpful. I’m also being distracted while writing this post by […]

Dear Author: Pseudonymous and Anonymous Speech Issues

March 27, 2015 By Deirdre

Anonymous Speech

I’ve thought a lot about anonymous and pseudonymous speech over the years, and I have to admit that the outrage to Jane Litte’s outing herself as Jen Frederick has me scratching my head. I’ve got a long history with pseudonymity, and I used a pseudonym long before I became a writer. Back in the 70s […]

Dear Author: Jane Litte Reveals She’s NA Author Jen Frederick

March 25, 2015 By Deirdre

Dear Author • Jane Litte • Jen Frederick

Yesterday, Jane Litte revealed on Dear Author that she was New Adult romance author Jen Frederick. The reaction has not been universal love, however. The post comes on the heels of being deposed in the Ellora’s Cave lawsuit, with the implication that she’s letting the word out because it came up in the deposition, and […]
