Fallen Into Tijan Books discussion

Let's chat about all kinds of random things!

Hey everyone!

I normally wouldn't do this, but I just want everyone to be aware of it even if you can't donate that's okay. Just want to spread the word.

A very dear friend of mine just lost their one month old baby boy named Percy to SIDS!

SIDS can happen very unexpectly with no signs or warnings. It's something a lot of people do not know about and there is no real way to prevent it or keep it from happening. It can happen to ANY infant under the age of one year old.


R.I.P Percy!

I ask you to donate to Percy's family and SIDS research here https://www.gofundme.com/percy-charles

If you can't donate, again that is okay, but I want to help spread awareness as well!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

I'm super excited for Tijan's new book to come out! I hope everyone who can signs up for the cover reveal!

Get a load of this:


"Author" Faleena Hopkins, also writting as Sabrina Lacey, trademarked the word "Cocky" and is sending out C&D notices to other authors threathening to sue them out of their lives if they don't change their book/series titles.


Here is a Twitter thread of author Courtney Milan explaining the whole situation in plains speak


And here are two articles about this:
Cocky Writer: Romance Author Faleena Hopkins Trademarks 'Cocky' and Tries to Shut Down Others Using the Word
Cockygate: Faleena Hopkins Has Registered a Trademark on Cocky, and is Using it to Threaten Other Romance Authors


Of course people are not happy and she is gonna get her behind handed to her.


I am putting her in my "Not just no, HELL NO" list.


What do you guys think about this?

I think this is wrong in so many ways. It’s stupid therefore she must be stupid. I’ve never heard of her but now that I have, I will be sure to avoid any of her books. Yesterday I did a search on Amazon with just the word cocky and 9 books showed up not including her series. It’s all over social media as I’m sure you well know and everyone is boycotting her books. Someone said it was bullying. So wrong. It’s a silent protest. I think other authors will prevail. I can’t see it happening any other way. Justice will be served. I just hope it doesn’t take too long.

Just for shits and giggles (and because apparently I have no life) I went back to Amazon to look up dates on the cocky books but I didn’t do them all. I found three that were published before her first cocky book and several published the same year. I got tired of looking and I don’t even know why I did it. I’m not even an author.

Its not about being an author Brend its about being a decent human being. She just destroyed her carreer in one go. The Romance community is huge and it is against her. All her "reasoning" is baseless and stupid. *shakes head* She will get what is coming her way

It made me sad last night when I was picking out my next read and one of the books I had on my kindle the title had been changed on Amazon. I felt bad for the author,
