Dear Bella and Jacob Fans:

My name is Lady Sybilla and I'm the autore of link. I'm dropping da because I've seen a few domande postato here about what's going on with my novel, so I wanted to give whoever is interested an update.

Have I been sued da Stephenie Meyer for publishing my novel? The honest answer is no. I did get a letter from her publisher, warning me to take the novel down from amazon and Barnes & Noble, and that was the end of it.

Basically they wanted me to change the cover so it wouldn't be so similar to the rest of the Twilight Saga Books, and they also questioned whether o not Russet Noon could be considered a parody to Twilight.

So I told them I would go ahead and change it and would also send them a copy of the book so they could determine whether o not it was a parody.

However, after a long period of reflection, I decided I didn't want to deal with them because I suspect they will nitpick the book to death in order to force me to keep its sales on hold. In other words, they can't unpublish the book, because it's already been assigned an ISBN, but they can stop it from being sold in stores o online.

Fine, let them do it. I wrote the book for people to read the story, so that's più important to me than selling the book. That's why I made it available for free online and I'm currently working on the secondo volume of Russet Noon.

In the mean time, all my haters have been silenced. No one has hated on Russet Noon for a really long time, which is really working in my favor because they stopped creating negative links about it.

All the sites that used to post all kinds of amaro claims against me, judging me for publishing a book that they considered to be fan fiction, are now full of broken links and are no longer updating their articles. They gave up, and Russet Noon prevailed in the end. So where's the epic fail now?

So I'm really glad for that, because the viral hate campaign that was unleashed back in 2009 is no more. They all surrendered, and I outlasted them: Peter David's round robin satire of Russet Noon, Potato Moon, bit the dust. Lee Goldberg, some used-to-be screenwriter, finally shut up about anything related to me o my novel.

Same goes for Laura Hale and her hysterical fixation on documenting my "kerfuffles." And let's not even get started with some no-name teacher who goes da the name of Caito, who had become a real crusader back in March 2009, when Russet Noon first came out. She was the worst online stalker I've ever had to deal with.

And the lista goes on and on to include the harpies of Twilight Lexicon, who still have a disclaimer on their site proclaiming that they do not "endorse Russet Noon." OMG, seriously? They must be senile. o maybe it's menopausal hormones. Who knows and, honestly, who cares? Beats me, why would they even acknowledge me?

Anyway, so yeah. Now that the haters have gone quiet, I've decided to bring back Russet Noon, and this time I will be adding yet another translation to the mix.

While the first volume of Russet Noon has been translated to Spanish and Portuguese, the secondo volume will be translated to Italian as well. I am working closely with a translator to release Mezzogiorno Mulatto, the Italian version of Russet Noon.

So if te want to learn più about Russet Noon, I'll leave te some chapter summaries to give te an idea of what the story is about. Please feel free to write on my bacheca if te have an opinion, commento o question.
