Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review
Quick book news:
And now for the book covers!
First up – the final book in Kiersten White’s Paranormalcy trilogy – Endlessly has a cover.
Gwen Haye’s followup to the atmospheric and magical Falling Under, Dreaming Awake.
She fell for him in a nighttime world. But the time for dreaming is past—and the here-and-now can be just as fragile their love…
When Theia Alderson first encountered a mysterious, handsome boy in her dreams, she never imagined how finding Haden Black—and falling in love—could change her life. To save Haden, Theia sacrificed everything. And the dangerous bargain she made could have lasting repercussions.
Now Theia has returned to Serendipity Falls, and she finds herself struggling with the same deadly hungers that have tortured Haden. When students at their high school fall prey to a mysterious illness, Theia can’t help but wonder if Haden’s control is slipping—and how much longer she’ll have a grip on her own.
And still the nightmare realm of Under won’t let them go. Someone from Haden’s past is determined to destroy Theia from the inside out, starting with those closest to her, forcing Theia to choose between family and friends and a love that may have been doomed from the start…
Emma Townsend has always believed in stories—the ones she reads voraciously, and the ones she creates in her head. Perhaps it’s because she feels like an outsider at her exclusive prep school, or because her stepmother doesn’t come close to filling the void left by her mother’s death. And her only romantic prospect—apart from a crush on her English teacher—is Gray Newman, a long-time friend who just adds to Emma’s confusion. But escape soon arrives in an old leather-bound copy of Jane Eyre…Reading of Jane’s isolation sparks a deep sense of kinship. Then fate takes things a leap further when a lightning storm catapults Emma right into Jane’s body and her nineteenth-century world. As governess at Thornfield, Emma has a sense of belonging she’s never known—and an attraction to the brooding Mr. Rochester. Now, moving between her two realities and uncovering secrets in both, Emma must decide whether her destiny lies in the pages of Jane’s story, or in the unwritten chapters of her own…
Steampunk and YA is a great combo! Innocent Darkness looks great and I really like the cover!
Wish. Love. Desire. Live.Sixteen-year-old Noli Braddock’s hoyden ways land her in an abusive reform school far from home. On mid-summer’s eve she wishes to be anyplace but that dreadful school. A mysterious man from the Realm of Faerie rescues her and brings her to the Otherworld, only to reveal that she must be sacrificed, otherwise, the entire Otherworld civilization will perish.

O you do ask difficult questions!
Plagiarism is very bad. If you can't be original, don't do it at all.
A female author posing as a man is fine with me. There are male authors with female aliases writing romance too. But lying about it, that is worse. And having some actor sign the books, that is stupid. The signature is totally worhtless for the reader then. It really should not be an issue, the gender of an author.
Plagiarism stinks. If you can't be creative enough to come up with your own work (and yes, I'm looking at you QRMarkham,) you should choose another profession. No books for you!
Thanks for the info.
I don't mind at all when an author pretends to be a different race/gender/sexual orientation/religion/age. In fact, I love it – particularly when the truth comes out….
Think: James Tiptree Jr. One of the leading "men" of SF back in the day. Male SF writers used him as a prop (see we can write decent women characters!) while leading feminist SF authors trashed everything "he" wrote. Then the gender switch was revealed and SUDDENLY Ursula le Guin couldn't be a bigger fan of Tiptree's work – and the menfolk in SF had to reexamine their sexism.
As far as I am concerned, more writers should confuse us with pseudo-personalities. It makes it easier to judge a book on its worth and content – separate of any identifiers with a certain demographic.
I definitely hope the publisher tries to collect any advance that the plagiarizing author might have received for his work. He didn't write a book…he copied and pasted it. No cookie for Markham.
It boogles the mind that, in today's world of Google, ebooks, and community forums, there are still individuals out there who insist on trying to swindle readers.
As for the author AJ Llewellyn… I cant seem to work up any similar type of indignation. Especially when many great authors have masked their gender in order to more successfully put forth their work…for centuries, I'd imagine. If the likes of "Pittacus Lore" can do it, why can't anyone else? ^_^
