YES! They are awful, and she has two or three names she's putting them on as well. On the one hand they are a *cough* way of branding her identity?

Thank you!!! I found one for Chrome. My proceeds go to the humane society that gave me my kitty, Macy. <3

Yes, yes, yes! I have been bugged by these same things on her books. She's had several freebies and these things make me crazy. Is she one of the authors that puts a bunch of tags on the title using "/" between them and making it basically one long word? THAT drives me crazy, too.

I've only read one of the freebies from the three (or four?) pseudonyms she's re-publishing under and it wasn't particularly great, and in fact I remember there were some quite stupid things. It was one in Ireland or Scotland and the heroine sees the hero covered in flower when he breaks into her castle to steal a sacred item, and she thinks he's her brother's
ghost.
Seriously. So many stupid and illogical things in that book, especially in regard to travelling. I've picked up the other freebies, but haven't been inclined to read another.

WHAT?! I've been offline a few days and totally missed that. Hope she does sue, then the courts will get a look at her books maybe and pay her authors and editors!
