Each story was specifically written for this anthology. The goal of the Cocktales Anthology is to raise funds to fight against obstruction of creative expression. Specifically, what we believe are obstruction attempts through the trademarking of common (single) words for titicular use in books / or as a book series (eBooks, print, and audio).
Cocktales will only be available May 26th-August 26th.

Do you see any of your favorite authors? What story are you most excited to read? There are so many to choose from, but I think Kylie Scott's short story about Mal and Anne is what I'm looking forward to the most! I really enjoyed the Stage Dive series, and am curious about what's been going on in their lives. Also, Killer (their dog) is adorable! 😁
I have seen the whole #cockygate thing going on Twitter and Fb. It's ridiculous for a person to try and trademark a word. So I completely understand why this book came about.
ReplyDeleteSomeone told me this was a common practice in Germany, but I haven't really looked into it. If it's true, wouldn't authors/publishers eventually run out of words for their titles? It doesn't make sense! You shouldn't be able to trademark words, unless it's something you create yourself (even then it seems weird).
DeleteI love this response to the whole #cockygate issue. What a great way to fight back!
