Yeah, that’s why I wrote it the LAST time, backin 2005, though I really wrote it around 2000. Had to give up all rights to the book but lookit, it’s selling.
Publisher told me I couldn’t pull book off the market but could give up all rights. Daughter told me I would never see granddaughter again if anyone else read a word in that book.
My knees buckled and I begged.
Why did she insist I pull the book...and destroy all the copies I had as well?
Because she knew the character SKY was her. I told every detail I knew. The character RALPH was my beloved Billy, who endured the torment with me. It was Ralph who caught Sky writing on Internet newsgroup telling everybody she had brain cancer! Billy....er Ralph....went on and told everybody how they were being scammed.
Heh. It’s all in the book. After this awful summer I managed to find a copy of the book in the way back in my garage....where she would never find it. I sat and read the thing one weekend and wow, I was just so impressed that I wrote it!
It’s a really good book. But don’t go buying it or anything. I get no profits.
Why did she make me pull the book?
And there is a “disease” called Munchaeussen Syndrome by Internet. I am not making this up.
“And there is a “disease” called Munchaeussen Syndrome by Internet. I am not making this up.”
Yes, there is - I hadn’t heard of it previously, so had to look it up:

I thought Diane Feinstein did a great job on Meet the Depressed. No I don’t especially like her but she came off as level-headed yet didn’t castigate the President too much. She is a Democrat after all.
But I’m betting Feinstein, a major player in the foreign relations committee, really doesn’t like Obama and his crew of jokeers.
Just a hunch.
