Reminders and News Updates

1/17/2017

​First Off, Some Reminders!


In light of recent third party distribution site issues (see All Romance closure), Mischief Corner Books is carefully re-evaluating our third party distribution channels. We want to be sure that both you, the consumer, and our authors have the best possible book buying experience and are also protected from fraud and piracy.

Over the next month, we will be transition titles at the sales sites below from their current channels to new distributors. You may experience no interruption of service or changes in your libraries BUT we highly recommend that if you use any of these sites for your purchases that you back up your Mischief Corner titles in the next two weeks.

Sales sites affected:
Apple
Inktera
Baker and Taylor
Overdrive
ScribD
Gardners
Yuzu
Tolina
Odilo
Bookstrand



We will be back at Apple and Scribd, but our method of distribution will have changed. We should also be back at Overdrive in the coming months.

However, it is unlikely we will be back at the other distribution sites such as Bookstrand.



News Updates

​

You may have noticed we have a couple books no longer available from Mischief Corner.

Please do not worry! They will be back on shelves in the next couple of months.

Toni is focusing on her Atherton Pack and Hounds of Hell series this year, and as such decided to expand her first Hounds of Hell story, Archie's Accidental Kidnapping, before the sequel, Pyro's Accidental Shooting is released. AAK will have substantial additions as well as a new cover and another surprise - we hope. *crosses fingers*

The other book currently not available is Freddy's Internment. It will be re-released with some minor edits, a new cover, and 4 color illustrations from Mila May. This is to make way for its sequel, Enhearten, coming out late Spring. Freddy has the first draft done and is now going through beta reads and edits for the new story!
​


IMP Universe stories

​

As many of you heard, Wilde City Press is closing their doors. It's sad news for all of us. The team at WCP brought some wonderful stories to the world. Two of those happen to be from Mischiefiers Angel and Freddy.

These stories happen to be a part of the same universe as Angel's, A Christmas Cactcus for the General, and as such we have decided that the stories will be coming to MCB. We have not determined when they will be getting released, but we want a plan in place before we do. We will keep you updated.

Stuff We Like #67 - Odd Things

3/22/2016

0 Comments

 
Angel has this week's Stuff We Like - she begs your indulgence to explain...

When I was a kid, most girls my age had dolls. I'm certainly not saying every girl I knew played with dolls. One of my friends played exclusively with horses. But I never had any interest in them or, really, pretty things in general. Other girls of my acquaintance wanted to play dress up and house, while I wanted to read books of gruesome fairy tales and had an early fascination with gargoyles. That's not to say I didn't like anything cute. I had lots of stuffed animals. But I preferred the unusual, you know, like snakes and hippos.

Anyway - I can't say I'm alone in this, and now that I've met a huge variety of people over the decades, I know I'm not all that unusual. But I like odd things and my friends know this. So they send me Odd Things.


This guy's from Toni. She thought I needed a little demon in my life. Can't imagine why. ;) Isn't he great? I love his eyes and his little pitchfork!
Picture

This is the Happy Birthday Grumpy Cat Diane sent me from Calgary. Because I just can't imagine a better oxymoron.
Picture

This is one of the gargoyle bookshelf companions hubby gave me many years ago. Yes, he's sucking his thumb. I thought he needed a teddy.
Picture

This last one is an iridescent octopus. Because one can never have too many octopi. I honestly don't remember who gave him to me, only that I didn't buy him.
Picture
So if you see me cooing over Ugly Dolls or making a beeline for the some bizarre stuffed thing in a store, just let me go with it and get my Odd on. :)

Stuff We Like #63 - Food of the World

2/23/2016

0 Comments

 
Angel's here to host this week's Stuff We Like - with food.
Picture

My mom's German. She came over in '57 or so to work for a bank in Manhattan. As you might imagine, my childhood was filled with meat and potatoes kinds of dishes, but with an ethnic flavor. Rouladen, frikadellen, rotkohl, knackwurst - these were words I grew up with. The food wasn't spicy, for the most part, just yummy. Though the flavor palette was somewhat limited.

In college and later on, I started to discover all the wonderful foods the world had to offer. When hubby and I would travel with our son, (this was when we had money for travel and we didn't spend money on much else) the rule was chain restaurants only as a last resort.

Indian, Sichuan, Mexican, Ethiopian, Greek, Japanese, Moroccan, Middle Eastern, Hunan, Vietnamese, Spanish, Korean, Polish - the world was there for the tasting. While I may be able to have some of these cuisines more often than others, I don't really have a favorite. It's the variety, the unique qualities of each that make them wonderful. Sadly, many of the restaurants we loved while traveling no longer exist. That's the nature of the restaurant business. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop looking, and if I'm in your town, I'm most likely going to pester you for recommendations. ;)

Stuff We Like #59 - Firefly

1/26/2016

2 Comments

 
Angel's here this week with a bit of a geek confession.
Picture
There was a show once, a little thing called Firefly. It ran a sparse few episodes and then through the moronitis of various studio executives, was canceled. I'm not along in my undying love of the show, I know that. A million voices cried out in anguish when it was canceled.

OK. I don't know if it was a million. I didn't count. But we have such a dearth of perfect SF TV series. You can throw other titles at me, go ahead, but nothing, nothing will ever match this one for me. It was the perfect ensemble cast - great actors playing quirky, sometimes sociopath characters with depth. Nine characters gazing out into the vastness of space and seeing something different:
Picture
There was universe building, There were political intrigues large and small. There were good guys and bad guys and lots (LOTS!) of gray areas. There was action, angst, funny moments and some of the best dialogue I've ever come across on television.
Picture
Picture
Oh, and spaceships and EVA's and interesting plots lines and Jayne's hat. If you're one of the lucky people who has yet to experience the wonder of this series, go do so now. It's stayed with me so strongly all this time, and though I'm still bitter that they wrenched it away from us, it's nice to know that there are tons of fans out there more rabid than I am.

I will, in moments of bleakness, sing the theme song still, that anthem to last-ditch hope defiance that still gives me chills:

Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand... I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me...

Stuff We Like - #55 Bookshelves

12/30/2015

0 Comments

 
Angel's back for this week's Stuff We Like. She really didn't want to follow last week's Dead Pool post, but we insisted.

Hi!

Angel Martinez back again - and yeah, stop it, I'm posting about bookshelves. Look, I have a lot of physical books. Being a lifelong bibliophile who had several decades of book love prior to easily accessible ebooks means a lot of books. On top of that, books are my friends. I'm not one of those people who simply gets rid of books (THE HORROR!) No, I hang onto them, whether I'm going to re-read them or not. Books from childhood, books from college, books I've purchased and ones (several manies) that people have given me.

Picture
Because I don't just own paperbacks and the books are from several eras of publishing and types and so on, I need a lot of different kinds of shelves. From the state of the one above, you'll see that I'm always struggling for enough space for all these different books sizes. Ideally, I'd like a library where ALL the shelves are extra tall and I can simply alphabetize. As it is, I do my best to sort by category and size and by alpha last name of the author where I can. I need shelves that will hold rows and rows of paperbacks, shelves that will hold art books, ones that will house text books and hard cover fiction, and those that are just a ridiculous size and meant for coffee tables. Since I don't have room on coffee tables, there must be some ridiculously tall shelves.
Picture
Here in my study, I've surrounded myself with books. A book cave, if you will. But there are books in the bedroom, in the living room, in the kitchen, even in something that's supposed to be a liquor cabinet in the dining room.

Someday I will have to move all of these books and I'll most likely regret having so many. But only until I unpack them and my books are restored to their proper places all around me again.
