You have prolly heard by now, Jaynier is back.
Who is that you ask? She is a long time reader who was once upon a time thick with the ebook crowd, liked to dish and didn’t have a PC bone in her body. And we liked her that way *g*
But that thing happened… you know… nifty peep crosses over to the darkside. They become apart of the publishing world. And like any good worker bee, she killed her blog. Went into hiding. And went to work.
Well now she has washed that crazy right out of her hair and she is back in romanceville. But none of that is the ironic part (ok, the crazy warning people to remember insane authors talking smack about other authors are really lying whores – while talking smack about another author – is funny, ironic shit). BUT The funny here is the person who was smart enough to stay out of blogland and keep her nose clean wants your gossip.
She is restarting(?) her Wednesday Whisper. I thought it was fun but sadly it looks like a blind items so it is romancelands own vent club and that sucks. It opens room for people to make shit up like that author who hates them, is really a pain pill addicted, alcoholic.
So do as she says and not as she did and send her your goss. And she will vent it out for you. We will watch, piece it together and out your ass. You will be ruined and never eat lunch in romanceland again but dude you will have amused us and after all isn’t that all that really matters?

That’s all I’m concerned about..us being amused. hee
Holy crap. *zipping lips*
Anne you keep that up we will never hear your lurvly voice again.
And really I am only kidding about that never eat lunch thing again thing, dishing diva is still trying to hock her ebooks, deep-trisk-throat is still under contract and uh I am sure there are more but I am so not in the know. We can’t gab with anne if her lips are zipped.
Oh, and can I steal your I Know About the Duck button? Pllllleeeeeeaaaaaase? I want. I want.
I know I shouldn’t be admitting this but I love the snarky venting blogs!
Does that make me a bad person? LOL
lol, the problem is there is so much gossip out there that people don’t have the guts to tell the world. So if they tell me, I’ll tell the world.
But I will always check if it’s true. When I was first sent the email about Jaid’s husband yesterday I thought it was a load of crap and wasn’t going to publish it until I actually asked and found out it was the truth.
I’m not going to publish stuff without checking its truth. That would defeat the purpose…and most of Wednesday Whispers is just supposed to be fun stuff – people behaving badly, not hideous shit about peoples personal lives – I reserve that for other days:-)
And would someone please email me and tell me why the heck you and Karen and a whole lot of other bloggers are suddenly so down on Jaid. I must have missed something while I was away lol
Jaynie,
I give you kudos and alot of credit to show your face and not be anonymous. There are so many blogs out there that talk the talk but try to stay hidden because they can’t handle the honest opinion of what people respond to what they say.
I will definitely visit your blog in the future.
Welcome back!
Jaynie R – I’ll wade in here and will see if I can explain some of the bad vibe on the Jaid Black front.
It appears to a lot of us that she’s “lost the plot” a bit. Some folks feel perhaps she’s gone the way of LKH and Anne Rice – believing a bit too much in their press. Down here we call it getting “too big for their britches.” Australians call the attitude people now have of her and the aforementioned ladies “poppy lopping” – or taking a big head down a rung or two.
For example, look at her diary posting from 6 June. We’re not sure what she’s talking about, it rambles on a bit, and then she appears to take a swing at herself. There’s so much subtext in this post that I wonder why she bothered putting it in a public forum. There are better places for personal dirty laundry – your own or others – than the Internet (a.k.a., the world).
There is also the recent dustups about the quality of what has recently come out of Ellora’s Cave. (Here: http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2007/05/13/jaid-black-found-of-elloras-cave-clears-the-air/ , and here: http://karenknowsbest.blogspot.com/2007/04/so-whats-really-going-on-at-elloras.html )
All of which were tangled with details of Ms Black’s personal life (see http://karenknowsbest.blogspot.com/2007/06/tina-engler-founder-of-elloras-cave.html#comments).
This has all just left a bit of a taste in folk’s mouths. I don’t personally have an opinion one way or another. A bad book is a bad book, a good one is a good one. There’s no way a publisher can sway my opinion one way or another – the author is, in the end, responsible for the content of the book.
As for the personal stuff – I just don’t want to know about it. LALALALALALALA (fingers in my ears).
