Yesterday They Were Dragon Spell Publishing, Today They Are Lyrical Press Inc
Wednesday, January 30, 2008Posted in: The Dishing Diva AKA Rene Lyons, there is no such thing as bad publicity baby
I see that Rene Rocco, AKA Dishing Diva, AKA Rene Lyons has decided to change the name of her publishing company:
Hello everyone
After discussing things with our accountant, Frank and I decided to do away with Dragon Spell Publishing and operate solely under our corporation name of Lyrical Press Inc. We’re the same old owners doing the same old business, just under our corporation name and at a new location:
Along with preventing any future problems doing business as Dragon Spell (we’re 99% positive it wouldn’t cause any problems but that 1% was too much for Frank and I), we also realized that being Lyrical Press, Inc. but operating as DSP might cause some confusion with readers and authors. Especially since Lyrical Press, Inc. is on everything except for the website. We learned this only by facing that particular situation and finding that to some, it might seem confusing. We want only good for our authors and staff and so, after agonizing over this decision for weeks, we decided it was best to make the change now, before it’s too late.
Frank and I had the hope of using Dragon Spell Publishing as the place to sell or romance/erotica titles, while expanding our catalog to include other genres (Young Adult) under our company name of Lyrical Press, Inc. Trial by error taught us this might confuse some, look a bit sloppy, and that was simply unacceptable to us as I am fanatical when it comes to organization.
It’s difficult finding our footing, learning what works and what doesn’t, under the watchful eye of the public, so I hope you bear with us as we welcome in Lyrical Press, Inc.
Thank you for your understanding and support as Lyrical Press, Inc. grows and thrives.

As a an astute cyber pal of mine pointed out, they’ve probably made the change because the Dragon Spell name might be tainted Google-wise, now. Oh well, we’ll see what happens with them I’m sure.
How long are we giving Lyrical Press before they close down “due to hormonal women and bitching”? *g*
Thanks to you-know-who for the tip-off.

Karen doing the porno will certainly make you different from the rest and just think of the countless male “readers” you’ll attract.
Can I buy a couple shares of stock? 😛

You know, a lot of things confuse me about this whole venture, but the double name wasn’t one of them.
Can I get in on the new press, too? I’d donate books, but I just contracted one with Trixy Loin Publishing, and for the other I’m still holding out on a contract from LA Media.
How about I do covers? Yes, I have a GREAT collection of celebrity photos that would look just fabulous. We could put David Beckham on all the covers. Or Sean Bean…

LOL, I never catched the “Loin” publishing, I always read it as Lion… but this is way better. Ya know, Kayleigh, I have a love for costume dramas, how about Richard Armitage from North and South or Colin Firth from Pride and Prejudice? If I remember correctly Sybil rather favours them, too.

Sometimes I’ve seen it “Lion,” other times “Loin,” and so I picked the one I liked better lol.
Nah if we’re gonna do Mr. Darcy it has to be Matthew McFadyen. I never quite jumped on the Colin Firth train.
We could do Sean Bean in the Sharpe series. (sorry, on a Bean kick this week!)

I can’t help but wonder why her promotional posts are not grammatically perfect if she is going to be running a publishing house.

First, thanks Karen, I was eating chips when I read the porno line and I think I cut something sputtering.
I don’t know, Colin Firth is deliciously uptight til he starts dropping f-bombs. It makes me love him more…

Rosemary, that is absolutely disgusting.
Who are they trying to kid? What fucking erosion? This shit has been going on for years, it’s only now that it’s being made more public. I can’t believe a religion that condones the putting to death of a man just because he dare question the belief that women are second class citizens.
This crap really makes my blood boil.

For anyone feeling as indignant about Sayed Pervez’s situation as I am. There is an online petition:
