Hello, a brief note saying any descriptions of my forthcoming novel WAGON WITCH’S APPRENTICE using the term “gypsy” are not condoned by the author herself.  I am actively working against its use, in what limited capacity I have in dictating how other people talk about my work.  For those who do not know, it’s a racial slur against the Romani.  I purposefully refer to the travelling people in my novel as travellers for this reason.

My publisher and agent have been notified that this is not something I will tolerate in the circles where I have control.

Thank you.
