I put up a post last night about a contest to win a signed copy of my horror anthology. http://www.scottroche.com/thoughts/2011/03/15/contest/ I hope you enter!

Here is some news on my latest post - not as alarming as it sounds - I am writing about the 18th century!

In 1553, clergyman Thomas Snowdell sold his wife to a butcher. After a decree by Queen Mary I, that any clergy who married during the brief period of Protestantism during the preceding reign, would be put out of their living, it was a straight choice for Thomas, in which his wife lost.
Indeed since a wife was her husband’s property and there were no laws against selling a spouse, it was not an uncommon occurrence (as described in Thomas Hardy’s ‘The Mayor of Casterbridge.’)
One shilling was an average price for a wife….

I have done a major re-structure of the Indie eBook Hall of Fame. Blog post here explaining. The short version: It's tag/bookmark based now, rather than being a series of manually coded webpages. So it'll be a little less pretty-looking, but I can get updates done much faster and people can search and filter in much more refined ways. Huzzah!

All the books are free downloads, most in PDF, MOBI, and EPUB formats. Please browse the site, I'm sure you'll find something of interest.

I've started a new program at my Parsina Press site called ROGO--Review One, Get One. What this means for you is free ebooks.

The idea is simple. Read one of my ebooks. Write a review of it. Post that review on at least 3 different book-related sites. Let me know where you've posted it. I'll send you back a coupon for a free ebook of your choice from my participating list. (You can then write a review of that book, and work your way through the entire rest of my list for free.)

The list of participating titles and the rules for the program are on the ROGO Program page of my Parsina Press site. I hope you'll have some fun with this.

Pleasant reading!

A Fashion for Bad Language
I don’t know about you, but I find women swearing somehow much more offensive than men. Perhaps it’s because women are the gentler sex and discouraged from testosterone driven competitiveness, but surprisingly, in the 18th Century it seems bad language was tolerated from women.
As one observer in the 1700’s wrote;
“Good round oaths are often heard from the lips of gentlewomen, who are quite familiar with the slang of the sportsmen and the stable.”
