If you like Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance Yasmine will soon turn into one of your favorite authors. Have I ever steered you guys wrong yet?
If you follow me on Twitter they you might have noticed in the past day or so Yasmine Galenorm http://twitter.com/yasminegalenorn and Laurell K Hamilton http://blog.laurellkhamilton.org/index.php/site/index/ talking alot about literary piracy.

Just as the Authors have Contracts with their Publishers , wherein responsibilities and duties are outlined, we the Readers also have a "Contract" with the Authors. We have Certain Responsibilities to our authors. These Responsibilities include Always buying the book, NEVER DOWNLOADING IT FOR FREE!!! That is as much of a theft as if you went up and took a painters Painting or a Hip Hop Song from the singer. It is just like stealing a movie, shoplifiting, Or taking the Last Can of Mountain Dew without putting another case in the fridge to cool Down. (Ok, that Last one is a CB Hot Button, probably not that much of an issue for others)

If You can not afford the Book, Go to the library.

We also have to spread the message to our fellow readers that this is not an acceptable practice.

Finally, in order to really Help out we need to get more readers to our authors. Tell a Friend! Heck, Tell 9.................

.....Katherine from City Council and the Salon..........

...Hilda from the Front Desk of the Hotel...........

.......Adrian our bookeeper who got to reading a particular racy passage..........

.....The Fabulous Ms Veda still recovering from her cold..........

........Laura the Safeway Bakery Manager...........

.......Jess at the Airport.................

.....Sherri from FCA (Who Swears she has not been in my blog yet but I know she has somewhere. Everyone help me look!!)..........
