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 […]

Ellora’s Cave: Double Entry Divas

February 25, 2015 By Deirdre

Ellora's Cave Blog Post Header

I love the Internet. Two days ago, I asked if anyone saved this Ellora’s Cave video that was tweeted by @CaveChaos on July 30th. As with many “disappeared” videos from YouTube, it has found its way onto the Russian site Rutube. However, you needn’t know any Russian to understand the meaning of this video…. A […]

Ellora’s Cave: The Sunken Queen

February 24, 2015 By Deirdre

Ellora's Cave Blog Post Header

Well, New York Magazine published an article about Ellora’s Cave founder Tina Engler (aka Jaid Black), titled “Did Amazon Sink the Queen of Online Erotica?” A copy of that article can be found here. The article made me laugh out loud—and not always in ways the article’s author, Phoebe Reilly, intended. Though there were some […]

Ellora’s Cave: IT Infrastructure Statement

February 22, 2015 By Deirdre

Ellora's Cave Blog Post Header

Recently, on the #notchilled hashtag, we heard about Ellora’s Cave’s IT system in the days of yore. Then Ellora’s Cave sent an internal email on the subject. I have some commentary after that. First, the tweets that started it all: @pubnt @Format_Me You'd think they would have learned. Back in '03-04 then COO and my […]

Fundraiser for Former Ellora’s Cave Editor Bree

December 8, 2014 By Deirdre

Bree was an Ellora’s Cave editor for twelve years before being laid off (along with all other freelance editors) in August. Here’s a quote from the fundraiser: It’s no secret that the EC editors’ unexpected layoffs on Aug.18 have adversely affected editors’ finances. In the case of one of our colleagues, Bree, her 12-year full-time […]

Ellora’s Cave: Some Google Trends

December 1, 2014 By Deirdre

It is interesting to compare EC with self publishing search trends (Google trends) #notchilled — Wylie (@oldCalicoJack) November 30, 2014 So I decided to pull up the map, then got on searching a few combinations of other interesting things. There are a few things we can glean from this chart. Google searches for “Ellora’s Cave” […]

Post-Romanticon: Axl & Taylor’s Self-Imposed Ebola Quarantine

October 17, 2014 By Deirdre

I’ve posted about this on Twitter, but I only amended my Romanticon post to include word of the quarantine. However, given the fundraiser I just discovered, I’m copying the amendment into this post so it gets more attention and adding the fundraising link below. Frankly, no one who goes to to any convention should have […]

Virtual Visit to Ellora’s Cave Convention: Romanticon

October 13, 2014 By Deirdre

Single-publisher conventions are fairly rare, but not unheard of. Ellora’s cave has had one, EC Romanticon, for several years. How many? According to this 2011 scrape of the ecromanticon.com site by archive.org, the 2011 convention was the third annual convention, so 2009 would have been the first. (The earlier conventions may not have been on […]

Ellora’s Cave: and then Things Took a WTF Turn

October 8, 2014 By Deirdre

I was looking for my dinosaur pictures, but I liked that one better. I was working on a lovely post about technological shifts. Because I think it’s a factor in the history of Ellora’s Cave. And I was genuinely rooting for all the issues to be resolved and everyone to go happily on their way. […]
