I am deeply saddened by Smashwords and Paypal. Two companies I have previously had a lot a lot of business dealings.
First, I am saddened that Smashwords gave in to the demands of PayPal and recatagorized Beastiality, Rape and Incest Erotica. I do not publish these forms of Erotica, but obviously people wouldn't write it if people weren't interested in buying it. To CENSOR an author's work because PayPal has said they can't transact those sales is clearly CENSORSHIP.
1. In protest I say every author who publishes this type of work should make them FREE on Smashwords. Therefore, PayPal will have nothing to transact.
2. Send an Email to PayPal and let them know you don't support their forced CENSORSHIP of Smashwords. Please, If you feel the need CALL PayPal and Complain: 1-888-221-1161 inside the USA, 1-402-935-2050 outside the USA.
3. I hope some group of author's sues the pants off of PayPal. Loss of Royalties...
Secondly, I am saddened by PayPal's thoughts that they can deny the rights of FREE PRESS guaranted in the Bill of Rights. See the above solutions to the problem I've posted above.

House hunting bust
Looked at close to 10 houses today. Two were o.k and plausible. However, one was bigger than our current house. Too big for us, it also needed to be rewired. The other was the perfect size, but the neighborhood was dodgy. Sitting at the hotel watching tv.

New Nook
Last week on the 8th I shattered the screen of my first nook. I was devastated. Received my new nook in the mail yesterday.
Color, Android apps, wi-fi conectivity and in tablet that allows me to stay connected anywhere. Not only that, the new model is in a purple skin.
In fact I just updated this blog from my new toy;)

Cooking Naked Published
So as of 5 minutes ago I had three books on Barnes and Noble. Still waiting for the The Miracle to pull.
This morning I finished a short story I was working on for Valentine's Day. The muse was not with me. I also was not able to use any of my prep time at work this week to write. Finally, this morning I forced myself to spend four hours finishing and editing.
If you see mistakes, let me know. I am feeling rushed. I wanted to get this out so it could be enjoyed before Valentines Day. In the hurry I might have made some technical fouls. :(
So without further ado: Cooking Naked was published on Smashwords, 10 minutes ago.
I also created a website last night at: adelayehearst.webs.com
Cheers, Adelaye

Rick Santorum and B&N Releases
O.K. I've said it before Rick Santorum sucked when he was here in Pennsylvania. Why are these other states not listening to PA voters? Well, everyone will just have to live with this crap later.
Pennsylvania has other problems right now. Our Governor has decided to make more cuts to the education system. Yes, thats right we already have kids who can't read and write, so now lets make it worse. In the long run he wants to spend more on prisons. Yeh... Does anyone see a problem with this?
On a lighter note: Three of the books have hit Barnes and Noble. Two of them have cracked the top 100,000 download mark. One has hit the 10,000 download mark. Awesome.
Have to work on the next three manuscripts. So hard to finish...
Made homemade cottage pie on Saturday. Top crust and all. It was so good. M has been on an England kick. He has requested many of the meals I made the first year we were married. Go 1999.

Politics and Books
O.K. I have been a little remiss on the politics front lately. Have to admit I did not watch the Presidential State of the Union Address the other week. I also have not taken note of any primaries lately.
Went back to work last week and works this week. Have been a little preoccupied with work, that I have not writen anything in almost a week. I mentioned to Mark tonigh that my muse has been on hiatus. I said I needed to take a long drive in the car to turn it on. Yes, I daydream in the car. My best ideas come from long drives to see my family. M suggested a 5 hour trip to the beach.
On a last note. "An Arrangement" and "Duck-N-Cover" tripped to Barnes and Noble tonight. The artwork and intros didn't pull. Still it was nice to have them pop up, I feel validated.
