Funny Mr. Nsehe seemed to think it was okay to use Oprah's name to sell his book, <br />"One of my friends came and suggested that we used the power of Oprah to boost sales. At that point, it seemed like a smart idea and so I gave the go-ahead". <br />Hmmmm....Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-27425137660153106492010-06-08T13:19:19.456+02:002010-06-08T13:19:19.456+02:00God, this is awful.

It's interesting that her thief may be using alter egos to taunt in a most stupid way. Ditto. Grown men, apparently.Vanessa Gebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088301040602803489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-59341473386422188722010-06-07T14:47:47.972+02:002010-06-07T14:47:47.972+02:00Lauri, thank you

Yesterday was really difficult, but today I've taken a lot of courage from the support of so many writers. As I've told my detractors, I'll survive a hate blog and other juvenile attacks, however vicious; and what works I've done in writing to this point, will stand me in good stead. They, on the other hand, are young, with their reputations still ahead of them; and I cannot imagine a better (or worse) way for otherwise promising young men to ruin their own futures. My immense gratitude to Ben for being there, and to Book.co.za in general for not leaving me to face this alone.<br />MWWordsbodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965726929008839788noreply@blogger.com
