December 29, 2007
Dear ePublishers,
We here at The Naughty Bits are all about the preferential treatment and since discussion has come up about certain well known and well loved ePublishers displaying this preference in regards to taking eBooks to print we wish to lend our support for this briiliant idea.
It so rocks in a “fuck your competitor up the ass with a big one” way. If anything I myself can understand just that very compulsion. But.. I must say that there are times when I sit here wondering if I am the only one seeing some hellaciously talented authors not getting the sweet sweet “print it now” lovin that they so richly deserve.
So without further ado let me show you some eBooks that the Pig would be so buying for his keeper shelf if you just got off your fat ass and put them on the fast track to paperback as soon as these writers have handed you the whack crack they do so well.
With Love, Teddypig
Torch Song Trilogy: Mirror Dialog Scene
December 29, 2007
People might argue with me on this movie being truly romantic since there is a tragedy planted right smack dab in the middle of this damn thing that will make you cry every friggin time. Hey, the horrible truth here is every gay man has to eventually face the fact that slowly and most assuredly he is gradually turning into Harvey Fierstein in a wig.
All together now… But not Enough!

Dear ePublishers,
Some of you might be asking yourselves… What does the Pig do all day?
Well, let me tell you the world of the Internet Bank Security Expert is a fun filled trip into the bowels of the Internet. A crazy ride that encompasses everything from Mobile Phones, SSL Certs, Single Sign-ons to PayPal Processing. Oh, PayPal you say. Why yes, PayPal, see I also helped my other half start his own business this year. He does Handmade Silk Screen Printing. He is a press in the old school sense of a press.
Redrum Press to be exact.
So when he asked me how to setup an online processing account for his business I reached into my bag of Internet Banking tricks and put him on A PayPal Merchant Account and QuickBooks Pro which integrate very well and got a Business Accountant to setup his books for him and added a module to QuickBooks Pro that is specifically for the type of sales he does. I also set him up on the Google Apps For Business. He is now way over the amount of sales he projected in his initial Business Plan and he is doing very well and with this setup. Most importantly he has the option of having his customers pay through PayPal with a few doing the old standard snail mail but it is all about the options and PayPal is an immediate thing and a lot of businesses are using it because of this integration and capacity. Nothing helps a small business more than money up front customers.
If having a strictly PayPal Merchant Account still bothers you remember there is another less well known option. A Wells Fargo Internet Merchant Account. Feel free to call them up and ask the questions as far as I know it is simply a choice of Brand Names. It can’t hurt and from my POV eBanking like this let’s you stay focused on the ePublishing business not on the process of maintaining the books. Are you secure? Yes, my logs tell me you are. Would I send my partner to something I thought was insecure or problematic?
Oh, and if you ever need T-Shirts check with my partner Jason and his Redrum Press it’s really convenient to do business with him. He uses PayPal just like Fictionwise, All Romance eBooks (Who needs to update their FAQ), Books On Board and tons of great ePublishers. He did these book cover shirts for a certain author that so rocked. Enjoy!

It is so much better just to show you a fun scene than to talk about it so here you go. This is Imogen Stubbs (as Viola) in the male drag giving Toby Stevens (as Duke Orsino) a back scrub.
