I wondered why Tabetha’s been trawling my page today. Now I know.
Tabetha posted a retort on her page this morning in response to somebody here on my blog saying that she’s planning to close down PF like she did MP. I guess she thought she was being clever or witty, but failed as usual.
But that’s not the interesting part. What’s curious is that somebody named Brandy Cowan replied to the post three times.
Now, just a little while later, it looks like those comments are missing.
But then Brandy came back a little while later.
According Brandy’s page, she joined in Feb.
Is from and still lives in Waco, TX.
Here’s a little history lesson for anybody that hasn’t been with the Tabetha Jones train wreck from the beginning.
In January of 2012, Wendy Hunyor and Brandy Cowan starte Mystic Press. Less than a month later, they took Tabetha on, and made her co-owner of their company, no less. Not long after, Brandy and Wendy handed over the keys to the shop and bowed out, leaving Tabetha and her fiance Eric as co-owners. By September, Tabetha had been reported to the Texas Attorney General by several authors that she conned, and closed Mystic Press Down. By the end of that year, Phoenix Fire Publishing took its place.
Any time somebody brought up Mystic Press, Tabetha and her alts went out of their way to blame everything that was wrong on the original owners, Wendy and Brandy.
Here are just a few of their greatest hits. With links, so she can’t say I photoshopped them.
Linky
Last year, I posted a blog called Lunacy cycle about how Tabetha had brought Cindy Carlo back into the company as senior editor and personal assistant, even after allegedly botching Thea’s contract so badly that she got fired for it. That was the post that scared Tabetha so shitless that she BEGGED me to take it down and inspired her to finally Pay Thea back what she owed her. Well, it looks like TJ’s up to the same old tricks now, recycling people/alts back into the company after an extended hiatus.
If this Brandy is a real person, she must have selective amnesia.Either that or she’s just really, really stupid. Who in their right minds would return to a company that blamed them up, down and sideways for ruining it?
Who here thinks that this Brandy’s being reinvented/set up to take the blame when PF folds, just like she was when Mystic Press fell to ruin? Anybody?
Yup. Me too.

I don’t think anybody’s stupid enough to get back together with Tabby fatty not any author worth their salt and not any man which is why she doesn’t have one because she’s such an ugly bitch. That’s why she chases after fantasy strippers because no real man want’s her in real life. This Brandy facebook is a FAKE just to screw with you to post about her so she can call you a stalker. Everything she does is FAKE FAKE FAKE.
I thought of that. There’s every chance it could be fake, posted just to taunt us. The post Brandy replied on was aimed right at us, after all.
Whatever.
If there’s a real Brandy and she’s dumb enough to jump back on that boat, she can’t complain when that bad boy sinks.
If this is yet another fake profile among the many Tabetha cooks up to cover her own skin (with more popping up all the time) it further proves that she’ll go to any lengths to avoid earning an honest living.
Either way, she’s a scam and a thief. No way around it.
That’s not the only old one that’s showing up.
Looks like Tabetha’s losing so many authors, she needs to dust off some more alts to support herself on FB. That’s what she does, isn’t it? Whether it’s FB or her so-called “business,” she creates and then recycles alts to bolster herself up.
Tabetha’s newer authors (if there are any left) might not have been around when Tabetha hopped on my blog pretending to be the stripper she patterned her laughable Draven Witch series after, defending herself as him. Then, when she was busted at it, she threw some other fan under the bus, as is her usual style. This other fan’s name was Carrie Nolan.
Read her comments here:
The Stripper Drama
You can read Emerald defeinding both Tabetha and Carrie here:
Convoluted Clarity
You guessed it. Carrie Nolan is now posting on Tabetha’s FB, “liking” her posts and bantering back and forth with Tabetha in a touching show of support. On a post about the Draven series, no less.
Never mind that the last activity on Carrie’s page was in August 2013.
I guess ol’ Tabetha just dusts ’em off when she needs ’em.
I don’t know what’s sadder, a grown woman talking to herselves like that, or her thinking that nobody’s going to remember her antics.
Update:
As of June, 2016, Tabetha Jones has no publishing companies in operation that we know about, so our investigation of her has been halted. The point of examining her in the first place was to advocate for authors that reported no royalties and other related abuse from her. If she’s not involved with publishing anymore, that job’s done.
The posts about her remain in public view in case she starts a new one in the future.
If more publishing concerns about Tabetha Jones (Willis, Farmer Hoover, Saulters, etc) – AKA Zooey Sweete, Emerald Rai Fleurs, et al – arise in the future, we will post relevant updates. But for now, we’re focusing on happier topics.
Peace.
