        Like I said, it's sheer drama they're looking for. Don't you see they're getting traffic for their stupidity?

        Go outside. Get fresh air. Determine what went so wrong in your life that you need to dismiss someone's anger. Resolve to be a better person

        I loved your book! Tho if they are treating you with such disrespect, it doesn't bode well for how they treat the heart of your story

      Glad to see @GRRMspeaking tweeted the full book cover and a picture of you. At least he knows which way is up. It's some hope for the book.

      If it's any consolation to you, the author, I will probably read this book now and I wouldn't have otherwise. Cover is cool. Namaste
