Author of Chess-inspired ("mating")
titles. Gods from outer space. Sexy
SFR.
Poking fun, (pun intended). Shameless
word-play.
Rowena Cherry's youth was spent on the
tiny British island of Guernsey: a
mystical, idyllic setting with its
prehistoric earth-goddess, historic
Martello towers, underground gun
emplacements, and legends of faery men.
Having been a school chess champion
and winner of the Duke of Edinburgh's
Gold Award, Rowena went to ancient
Cambridge University for her four-year
combined honors degree in English and
Education, after which she taught at
exclusive boarding schools, first in
Dorset, then in London.
Eventually Rowena met and married her
auto designer husband, who whirled her
off to Germany to live the glamorous
life of an alien abroad. Reassigned to
America, she rode beside her husband
in pace cars at the Indy 500 and
Brickyard 400 and has flown in
corporate jets to exotic locations.
Her fast-paced life so far has been
fantastic inspiration for romance
novel scenarios and alien-world
building.
Rowena lives in Michigan with her
husband and daughter.

The SIIA put out an entertaining video on YouTube called "Don't Copy That 2"
If you watch it to the end, you will see details of how anyone could win a two million dollar reward if they help catch and convict a pirate of music or video.
There are thousands of comments on the video (which also says "don't copy ebooks") by furious pirates. It is not unusual for pirates to tell authors "We'll steal from you because we can, and your work isn't worth paying for, and if you complain, we'll kill you."
Someone asked how to recognize a pirate site. Simply put, an e-book cannot be shared (unless someone hands you their loaded e-book reader). So, if you can get an ebook for free by downloading it (unless you are on the publisher's site, or the author's site) it's probably stolen.
It's most unlikely that an individual on e-bay has "resell rights" for instance. If the front matter says "all rights reserved" that means that no one has the right to reproduce or distribute (or plagiarize) the story.
There is no such thing as fair use with ebooks because every time to try to email it to someone else, you create a copy.
People who do not like the current law tend to offer their opinion of how the law ought to be. Readers do not have copyrights.
