I was told a couple of weeks ago about a few special blog posts (by Robert Krausankas) that caught his attention. They were written by A.K. Taylor who goes by "Amanda" on the ELI Forums. Amanda has a number of posts on the ELI Forums earlier this year. However, we never knew she was a blogger and author also.
I finally got acquainted with her and invited her into the ELI fold. When you read her blog posts, you will know why. She is kick-ass, a fighter, writes amazingly well, and seems to love all of us here at ELI especially Oscar! I think she has the "right stuff" for ELI. She even gave one of Robert's favorite awards (the asshat award) to someone!
I am posting her links in the order she wrote them. Be forewarned, she covers a lot of ground and has become quite outspoken and passionate in her dislike of copyright extortionists. Just the type of person we love to have onboard with ELI.

She is enthusiastic in recommending and referring others to ELI. Clearly, I have a strong bias towards people willing to stand up and speak out on our behalf. For that, we are grateful.

Good posts. Thanks for the heads up, Matt!

Ooops, I forgot to give proper credit to Robert for finding Amanda's posts about ELI, Linda, etc. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

You will likely be hearing from Roberts attorney concerning the failed attribution. :)

Thank you, Matthew! This is still so cool of you! :) Hi again to all since it's been awhile since I've posted since I have been busy writing for my blog and working and writing/brainstorming for my books.

Very nice, another fighter is always welcome here.

Yeah, Robert can be a real bastard that way. But of course I refer to him as "bastard" with only the utmost respect! *wink*

No problems. People stop into the ELI Forums whenever it is convenient for them which is as it should be.
