According to an official statement issued today door independent publisher AV Paranormal, the talisman image currently being used as the cover art for the novel Russet Noon will be the same one featured on the book cover when it is released as a paperback this Fall of 2009.
Numerous allegations of "theft" and "copyright infringement" have been made against auteur Lady Sybilla for using the talisman image "without permission" from its creator, artist Stephanie Lostimolo.
On May 11, 2009, Lady Sybilla responded to these accusations with the following statement: "I have every intention of giving credit to the copyright owner of the talisman. I made a reasonable attempt to track down the artist door writing an emai to Michael Delahunt, the webmaster of link, but I never got a reply to my email. On his website, Delahunt refers to this image as a "talisman of unidentified origin and meaning," so obviously he doesn't know who the copyright owner is."
On June 1, 2009, a fandomwanker made the following claim on Journalfen.net: "Sybilla's still using an image cribbed from artist Stephanie Lostimolo, who created the talisman in 1999 for a Michael Whelan fan Art Contest (for which she got an honorable mention - scroll down and look in the right column). u can't find the talisman image on the current incarnation of her site, but she has reused it since (worn door a character). Lady Sybilla is using this image as the new cover of Russet Noon on her website and in press releases, despite not knowing the image's origin (and therefore neither crediting Lostimolo, nor obtaining permission to use it)."
Upon learning about this post, Lady Sybilla immediately contacted Stephanie Lostimolo door email, requesting permission to use the image as the official cover art for Russet Noon.
On June 19, 2009, Ms. Lostimolo replied to Sybilla's request. Her emai is as follows:

Russet Noon is a tribute sequel to the last installment in the Twilight Saga book series door bestselling auteur Stephenie Meyer. Lady Sybilla has also written a letter to Stephenie Meyer's publisher Little, Brown, requesting permission to publiceer Russet Noon officially, but, so far, there has been no response.
According to laymen interpretations of copyright laws geplaatst on various forums around the web, Lady Sybilla and her independent publishing company, AV Paranormal, should be sued for copyright infringement. However, no legal action has been taken against the novel as of yet. Furthermore, there has been no attempt whatsoever on the part of Stephenie Meyer of her publisher, Little, Brown, to stop the publication of Russet Noon.
As of today, all attempts to ban the publication of Russet Noon have failed. It appears that the much defamed fan-fiction piece is destined to go down in history as "the little novel that could."

The on-screen couple recently lit up the red carpet at the Twilight premiere on Monday night with the rest of the cast.
An insider reveals the secrets behind the set about the couple to the magazine: “Kristen and Rob bonded from the moment they met. They got along so well that people were convinced they were secretly in love. She [Kristen] and Rob had a lot in common, and it didn’t take long for them to develop a very close relationship.”
The insider also had to share: “They were very touchy-feely around each other and they seemed to share a lot of inside jokes.”
Maybe there’s meer than just movie magic going on, but we highly doubt it. Kristen, 18, has been dating actor Michael Angarano for, as she puts it, “forever.”
Lilly sage.
I have recently visited Stephenie's Official site. I have become indefinitaly horrified.
Midnight Sun has been postponed indefinitaley.
Because stupid wh*r*es have geplaatst up the beloved work of Midnight Sun that Stephenie had gegeven them with trust.
I am completely speechless with anger and sadness.
But, thankfully, and unfortunately, Stephenie has geplaatst up the whole rough draft that was incomplete onto her Official site. I can't believe who would be so cruel as to not even care about the author's right and post up Midnight Sun with no authorization.
I deeply regret what has happened. I can't even imagine how hurt Mrs. Meyer is, but I hope she can come back from this awful experience.
