Scraps, if you are going to be making lists, you might as well add that true agents don't charge fees.

I think all you people queried Cheryl Pillsbury and/or Roval Publishing and got REJECTED and that's why you are bringing all this hate.

(Someone had to come along and say that, so I thought it might as well be me.)

Wow, we were just threatened with witchcraft. I haven't been threatened with witchcraft in a good fifteen years. (Yes, I have been threatened with it before. But not by a Wiccan. They usually know better.)

I wonder if I get to be a target of the spell and the lawsuit? Do I need to say the book's opening paragraphs are identical to another book's opening paragraphs?

How do I get in on the action?

The sad part is that it doesn't really come as a surprise. We all know that vanity presses deal with heaps of text, not the written word, and even if they did actually read a portion of the book, they very well might not have the literary background to recognize it.

As for the author, people do a lot of crazy things for attention. At least this one was relatively benign in the grand scheme of things.
