This news did not go over well there at all. Nothing wrong with an author wanting to protect their work but to trademark a common word as it is associated with a writing genre is as Chocolat author Joanne Harris punned that “such behaviour is considered a dick move”
The Romance Writers Association of America has already begun to look into this and an article I read stated her claim will likely be shot down by the first court case if it even gets that far.
Just another snotty little author with an over sense of their creations. Who uses Cocky as a book title anyway????
