Legs, Unfinished, and Kindle only (for 90 days)
I've decided to enroll both Legs and Unfinished in the Amazon.com "Select" program for Kindle. For readers who don't know how this works, enrolling both books means that they will *only* be available for Kindle, for sale on Amazon.com, for 90 days.
No Nook, no PDF -- just .mobi through Kindle.
90 days after I enroll them, though, I'll add them back to Nook and on other sites. For those who use a Kindle, the *great* news is that enrolling the books in Select means I can have FREE days, days when you can get the books completely free as a promotion.
Unfinished and Legs are both in the formatting stage right now (Legs has been massively revamped). Watch for more details.

RWI's More Than Magic Contest is banning same-sex romance entries
So time goes backwards (and not in a good way) for some romance contests! Who knew?
Romance Writers Ink, a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based RWA chapter, is holding its Magic 2012 contest. Check out the first rule:
Heidi Cullinan brought it to everyone's attention. Courtney Milan is calling for a boycott. Kari Gregg talks about the RWA's definition of "romance" (hint: it's not discriminatory). Sarah at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books takes on the subject as well.
Kari Gregg emailed RWI and asked why same-sex romance was banned. Here's how she tells it:
Your judges may be "uncomfortable" with reading same-sex romance, but so what?
Plenty of folks are "uncomfortable" with your bigotry.
I'm an RWA member. You're an RWA chapter.
Act like one.
And, because outrage always inspires an internet petition, here it is. 616 signatures so far.

So…I emailed the contest organizer to ask why this change was enacted. The contest organizer replied that RWI chapter members were “uncomfortable” with accepting same-sex contest entries. “Same-sex was just too much.”
