Hello - I saw this on my Facebook news feed thanks to a link one of my colleagues and friends sent. I echo Ms. Garofalo's comments, and add that it is lamentable how publishers have ceased to be about artistry and giving the public a diversity of literature - now it's all about the bottom line (which it probably has been - I'm not that naive), and how much the publisher can take in. I hope this situation resolves soon for your sake, M.J., and all of the authors being held hostage.
