Nicky left these on Daverana’s page (at Facebook?). I have Janrae’s permission to post the screengrabs here.
We have libelous statements, a call to boycott Daverana, and a threat to ruin Janrae’s career. While his remarks have been removed, he left them on a public page for all to see.
Yes, it was on facebook and a page open to the public clearly.
All he does is show what a whackjob he is. No wonder no one gives him a story.
Is it any wonder the only career he’s managed to kill is his own?
As if being functionally illiterate isn’t enough …
Steps to Nicky Stardom:
1. find something at which you really suck
2. set up shop with a fake company
3. lure in minors and other newbies
4. harass and threaten your “competition”
5. rinse and repeat
I don’t think he even rinses….
I stand corrected. 😉
This is the second time that he has assaulted that page. He did it the first time slightly over a year ago. We removed it because we did not want a cat fight on our company page.
He leaves this sort of thing on his rivals’ company pages and blogs, then complains that nobody considers him the consummate professional that he imagines himself to be. It’s mind boggling.
But surely calling people nasty names, not paying your contributors, lying about people saying how great you are, libeling your rival companies, and making extremely offensive remarks you claim are jokes makes you the ultimate professional? D=
There’s that professionalism he’s so proud of.
I fear Nickythumbum will be hurt to learn that I’m contributing to a Daverana anthology.
I’m thrilled to hear that, Mr. Campbell. That’s wonderful news!
Rage is more like what Nicky will feel, but you already know that.
I’m extremely happy to have Ramsey’s work in the anthology. In the past when I tried to do an anthology, my chronic fatigue set in and I had to reduce my workload. With Christine as editor, it makes many things possible.
My pleasure … many amazing submissions have already been sent my way, and I am thrilled to giddiness at Mr. Campbell’s participation!
And the Rolodex in his psychopathic brain has landed on me again.
Lovely.
Make me famous, Nickie. Keep spouting my name. I love it.
We are on a roll here. Tabetha has arrived on Lepp’s blog

Holy…. I couldn’t read all this. I guess it goes w/out saying Nickabumble’s only defender is a whack job. I love the part where you cannot touch someone who is JAG…ummm..what?
A nail in Daverana’s coffin? Well, good luck with that.
Why would somebody post that and expect the target to be viewed as unprofessional? Clearly, the opposite is true.
Janrae, as sad and offensive as this post is, yet again Mr. Pacione merely highlights his lack of social etiquette, respect and understanding of how to act professionally.
You run a professional and credible company with a roster of respected writers and publications. I’m sure his small crusades will drag on over the years until some sections him or bans him from the net.
If nothing else, look upon it as free publicity and watch him further damage his already zero credibility.
Hope you’re well, would be good to catch up some time.
Vern.
I would love to catch up with you, Vern.
It would be fun to know how many people have bought books from folks Nicky has badmouthed over the years instead of spending their money on his crap.
I have a nice collection of Maberry, but I don’t think Nicky has ever badmouthed him. Janrae recommended his work, and hoo boy was she right. One, he’s local, two, he can weave a really good tale, and three, when I met him at our local library, he was an all-around nice guy. That doesn’t make us besties. I’m just someone who shook his hand.
Which reminds me, I need to make it a point to join the Liars Club.
Mr. Maberry lives about 10 minutes from where I do, very local!!!
Bucks county Rocks, with a capital R.
WOOT! WOOT!
Completely off-topic…about 10 years ago I was either in Bucks County or Montgomery and there was a place that had a whole lot of Christmas minatures set up- like a mini-village. I remember the shopping all around it was Christmas themed too, like a village with a lot of stores. We went to so many places during that trip, and I wasn’t driving so don’t know where we were. I keep wanting to go back, but don’t remember where it was or know if still there. Sound familiar at all?
That was most likely Peddler’s Village in Lahaska. This time of year, it’s full of scarecrows. It’s a fun place to spend an afternoon, if you feel like doing something touristy.
Agreed, probably Peddlers Village. You need go when the Apple Festival is under way. Yummers <3
Mmm … apples. I think a trip to Solebury Orchards is in order for cider and donuts.
ah that’s it! Thanks!
At least the parking at Peddler’s Village is free, unlike downtown New Hope (pro tip: park in the high school lot, and walk into town, to avoid the outrageous parking fees).
He’s brought so many people together!
Me, I wonder how much his head would spin if he knew about members of his precious “alumni” submitting to FOSSIL LAKE …
Power drill. Phillip’s head bit. Screw. Full speed ahead. 😉
With an exorbitant amount of spittle flying everywhere…
I’ve always wondered about his claim about how proud his ‘alumni’ were to be published by him. He’s never wondered why they never submitted to him again? LOL LOL LOL
He’s said in the past that his zine and anthos were “stepping stones” to their success.
Okay kill me, but I read that as “sleeping stories.” I need to get my eyes checked.
and I have more tabetha action. She is upset because I weighed in about her apology post where she brought me up. Because of course, that post was none of my business. Then I got an email from her.

At least she didn’t misuse “myself” this time.
she replied to my reply, but not my reply to her reply to my reply. LOL
So amused that Nicky think anyone will do quality art for one of his books for $45-$76
He’ll probably find some sucker, but it won’t be the person he’s been talking to about it. For the kind of money he wants to pay, he might be able to get a small canvas painted black, with some red flicked onto it. He keeps going on about bands that aren’t exactly household names, so god knows what he really has in mind,
Maybe another oompa loompa skater cover? =D
What’s with the range? And odd why $76? He has such little regard for the worth of talented people. Of course, what he wants painted is completely idiotic. He’s such a superartist- I don’t get why he just doesn’t do something himself and spend $76 on supplies since he can throw his disability money away on it.
And of course, he would expect to be paid a lot more than HE is worth (I personally put his work at being worth…well he’d have to pay ME) for the same work.
