Our good friend Rhonda Rees is starting a campaign for authors to “Check Your Books” for the month of April. Rhonda would like for this campaign to grow and happen every year, which this is her first step in doing. As Rhonda stated in our visit with her, authors need to check their titles to make sure that they are not being pirated online. This is not an issue that is regulated just to large companies it effects smaller presses and authors that they might not be aware of. If authors would set aside the month of April to at least do this once a year so they can protect themselves. Newswire has published Rhonda’s latest piece about online book piracy, so make the jump to read her article and all of our friends that are authors or aspiring authors take notice and help Rhonda spread the word. Also a big thank you for Rhonda’s shout out to ComicPop Library in her links.

JOME’s Premiere Single “Brushstroke”
JOME is sharing with the ComicPop listeners the premiere of “Brushstroke”. The drums that the piece utilizes give the single a little bit of a tribal feel, which I enjoy. When the chorus hits it brings up the songs tempo and gives a nice contrasting element between the verse and chorus. To me this is an anthem song for people that don’t want to be forgotten and to change that precept and not be forgotten is to change the color you paint your would with or even the “Brushstroke”. Thanks to JOME for sharing “Brushstroke” through SoundCloud – Richard:

New Bandit Trans Am!
Before I saw Star Wars and dived into Science Fiction/Fantasy, the movie that captivated me in my youth was Smokey and the Bandit. Trans Am Depot has made 77 new modern “Bandit” Trans Ams. This is a beauty! If I had unlimited money to blow on whatever I wanted this would be sitting in my driveway. Even Burt Reynolds came out to help with this project by signing each car. The picture above is great, but you need to check out the video that Trans Am Depot have put up on their YouTube page:
