Petition to Get Terrorscape Unbanned from Amazon

One of my readers made a petition on change.org to get Terrorscape unbanned from Amazon.

Please sign it and spread the word if you can! It would be so awesome to be able to sell Terrorscape on Amazon again. ♥

P.S. Now Fearscape is available on both Amazon AND Smashwords.

The Problem with New Adult

The problem with New Adult can pretty much be summed up by the covers: white, attractive, straight female almost kissing white, attractive, straight male.

The female main character always slut-shames. She's usually running away from her problems rather than dealing with them like a (new) adult.

The male main character is always misogynistic. He always puts the female character up on a pedestal. He has a Madonna/whore complex. He's usually running away from his problems too.

The two main characters use their lust--and it is lust, not love, I'm sorry to disillusion you--to solve their problems.

This is especially rage-worthy when the problem in question is psychiatric.

Last I checked, major depressive disorder was not curable by a roll in the sheets with some tatted asshole.

The book usually ends with marriage, which is, you know, totally what I want to do with my life. Throw my dreams aside and tie myself down to some asshole who thinks a girl is only as valuable as the number of guys she HASN'T slept with.

I write in new adult, but I try to write characters who aren't always white, who aren't always straight, and who at least suffer consequences when they make stupid-ass decisions.

It's hard, because as a straight, white female, I'm often most secure in writing what I know. But you know what? You'll never grow as a writer if you don't branch out.

A Note on My Book Covers.

I'd like to take a moment to direct your attention to this user. Her name is Louisa and she's the designer of my covers. She's also an amazing person, a great friend, and probably one of the most positive people in my acquaintance. When I am rich and famous from my books (God willing), one of the first places I'm hightailing it to is Singapore, so I can thank her in person for being such a presence in my life.

I get a lot of compliments on my covers, but the work is all hers. So if you see her around on the site, tell her what a good job she did. It'll make her day!

(And authors, feel free to solicit her for commissions. She's a genius--and VERY reasonable. :D)

Terrorscape Is Still Banned from Amazon but Can Be Purchased Elsewhere

So recently I've had several people come to me asking where Terrorscape can be purchased since it isn't available on Amazon.

You can buy it from Smashwords.
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

Ever since Terrorscape was first banned by Amazon, I get asked this question every so often. I try to post little reminders every now and then since I'm always getting new readers (which I love), but I also don't want to sound like a broken record so I try to post them sporadically. (Remember that word from Clueless? :D)

I have also written a blog entry about my feelings regarding one of my books being banned. I find it very interesting that I've already written a banned book. All of the greats were banned at one point or another, so that seems like at least I'm in good company.

Anyway, I hope this answers your question as to where Terrorscape can be found and why it was banned. I'm so, so, so grateful to all of you for reading my books, and I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Also, if you see anyone else who has finished books one and two and is wondering about the third, please let them know where they can find it. :)

Hugs and mwahs.
