22.01.2022 Novels written by women using male pseudonyms have been reissued using the authors' actual names. The 'Reclaim Her Name' collection will contain 25 book titles... with the real authors' names and feature newly commissioned cover art from female designers. The collection has also been released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Women's Prize for Fiction - UK's most prestigious annual book award dedicated to female writers. Throughout history many female writers had to use male names to get their work published. For example, The Brontë Sisters originally published their novels under the names of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. The reasoning behind this (according to Charlotte Brontë) was because the women were concerned their work would be "looked on with prejudice." The 'Reclaim Her Name' collection is available now to download for free as eBooks. https://bit.ly/2Y0fmcw

13.01.2022 As we get closer to my birthday, it's time to ask for input! If you have recieved a copy of 'Words of Bek' and have read it, I would truly appreciate a review. Amazon is one of the places that reviews can really help with purchases and placement for recommendations to others. If you didn't purchase a copy from the 'zon, using words such as 'I recieved a free copy of this book with no expectation of a review..' and then adding whether you enjoyed it (or not), can help keep... the review there, as the Zon is very strict with reviews. If you don't want to put it there, sending me a note with your preferred name would be just as amazing, as I can use your words in my marketing. Finally including my author page www.facebook.com/planetbekstar (Wordsofbek) or @wordsofbek (insta) if you do a review in your pages will help me find your review and allow me to share it to my audience. If you are recommending to others they read my book, I really thank you for that. I appreciate those who have already offered reviews and given my book some love!
