And her Amazon page has now been blasted with 1 star reviews. While some are simply "we saw what you did on the other review so suck my one star" a lot are fair and seemingly accurate reviews of people who own the book.

This proves that not all publicity is good for you book.

This woman has pages about her over at Something Awful devoted to her in a thread called Internet Trainwrecks.

Good times

The more recent 5-star reviews are also... interesting.

One wonders what she would say to those.

The only 5-stars apart from the obvious jokes are ones that look like the author wrote them herself.

There's the one by "Danielle J. Howett". Not even trying to hide it, are they?

I think the niceness of the original blog review is what makes her outburst seem so out of proportion. Most people would kill to have all of their criticism be that constructive.

May the powers that be help us if they bred more than one of them...

I can only hope by 'family members' you are referencing parents and other genealogy up the family tree and not siblings and/or children down the family tree.

Oh my. Typical case of a person trapped in a swamp: the more desperately she tries to get out of this, the more she's sinking. At least I learned a lot from this - for example, don't f..kin' attack someone who clearly points out that you're wrong.
