Okay, okay, this is my last post on the subject. We know how hard I try not to judge the dishonest and stoopid. *insert maniacal laugher here*

Why you need to read about this train wreck:

1. It’s a lesson in how not to handle your writing career.
2. It’s an even better lesson in how not to handle controversy. (Tip: Keep your mouth shut, don’t threaten people with wiccan tenfold retaliations*, and don’t announce in public that you will sue for “deformation” of character.)
3. It’s a lesson in how not to use your disability and life circumstances as excuses for your mistakes.
4. I’ll quiz you about it six months from now.

I understand this woman has led a tough life. I understand she was scammed. I do not understand why she continues to defend herself. Guess I’ll just have to wait for that “major” newspaper article to show up.

* There are no wiccan tenfold retaliations. It’s threefold. Not ten.
