To be honest…I had no idea you quoted me in that post almost 2 years ago…ha ha.

That does change things. You actually read the comment and talked about it. Thank you.

Looking forward to the clean slate and hopefully meeting you at a con. I’d love to buy you a cup of coffee or tea or something.

:)

Have a wonderful day.

My point in commenting on Brigid’s comment was twofold: 1. everybody’s had a bad day interacting with people and 2. neither one of those statements, mine or hers, mean much without context. (My comments on the review copies can be found here.)

I’m sorry now I brought it up. Obviously, my points got lost in DRAMA! If I did it again, I’d phrase things much more clearly. And sure, I’d love to go forward with a clean slate.

I do NOT hate you. I do NOT care if you don’t like my books. Really.

We go around in the same circles. We have the same friends.

I do NOT see the need for you to seemingly “have it in for me”.

You’ve never liked my work. I’m OK with that.

The problem I had was when we sent you copies of our books for review and a week later they were up on Amazon.com for sale.

Other than that…
Other than that ONE incident…I have no problem with you.

Is there any way to make peace? Or is this something I just have to live with?

Either way. I wish you all the success you deserve. And I hope we can somehow find a way to be civil to eachother (both in person and online).

Thanks…
Scott

Pity about that NPR article’s first sentence, though. One could also easily write an article that begins “NPR isn’t just for effete, latte-swilling suburbanites on the way to the food co-op in their hybrid automobiles anymore…”

But what would be the point?
