It's a shame, because she had the opportunity to take the high road and do things the right way. And now she'll be lumped in with ARe and EC.
I discovered a lot of authors through Samhain over the years. I will miss what they used to be.

The market has changed. I'm surprised they are still around. I'm going to miss their titles but the small publisher bubble has busted. More and more people are moving back to mainstream as the prices stay down.
Thanks to indie authors who have flooded the market with junk readers seldom see small publishers who publish quality books anymore. They are too buried in the slush pile. Open Road is struggling we saw their attempt at Xmas to try and get people's attention by giving away a ton of free books. Unfortunately while I'm eternally grateful for all the freebies. I don't see it changing much. People are struggling with money due to the economy and more inclined to buy books they are familiar with than buy an unknown author at a higher price. More and more readers are using libraries too.
