In Shadows

It has come to my attention that one of my blog posts has been sent to a mailing list without my permission. That person has been chewed out by me, (and virtually strangled,) but the damage has been done with someone I consider a friend.

1) I do not believe Cindy Cresap is out to rip off the authors.

2) My blog entry about the Fortitude Inventory Sale was public and I won’t apologize for trying to clarify things for my readers. But I will state that I did not have all the facts at the time.

3) Cindy did contact me before she posted announcements about the sale.

4) Legally speaking, the books are abandoned property. Cindy’s actions are legit, and she wouldn’t have done this if they weren’t.

5) I would much rather have found some other way to relieve her of the hassle, but them’s the breaks.

6) See number one above.

7) Any questions of morals and ethics were never raised by me, only the legalities. Which, if you see number four, you’ll realize I have my answer.

8) My assumption that she was an officer of Fortitude was wrong. She never was.

and, most importantly,

8) I will hire Cindy Cresap in a hot minute for any book I write even after this fiasco. She’s one of the best damned editors I’ve worked with and I would work with her again if she’ll have anything to do with me after this.

Take that to the bank.
