So, someone popped up to write a review of All the Fishes Come Home to Roost on Amazon which said, at rather great length, that I was a bad human being. One RL friend (whom I swear I did not tip off) and, I believe, one LJ friend commented to say, "Uh, what? Then either a third party or a sock puppet appeared and has apparently tried to get Amazon to delete the comments because they're personal (like the first review wasn't.)
And also to hit me where it hurts. Clever of the person to know that writers would far rather be vilified than 'obscure' Normally I don't attribute all negative reviews to personal malice, but in this case I suspect that someone has a vendetta, and my spider-sense tells me that it's a disgruntled Baba-lover.
For the record, I believe that most Borders do carry my book, and it can't be that obscure if it was reviewed in Entertainment Weekly and USA Today. So there!
