This makes me so very, very angry.

I would say unbelievable if I had not seen this happen time and time again in my lifetime of letters witnessing many dumbstruck decisions of university leadership imposters whose vision resembles a shred of cellophane.

It might not be much solace, but at the bottom line you can be proud that you brought to the reading world The Secret Lives of Church Ladies. It may be rumor( one of the very favorite activities of a large and underrated section of the American populace, but I hear it is still the number one best seller in churches across the nation, in all denominations too, with the Baptists and Methodists leading the way (Did you know that Hamlet was a Methodist?)

By the way, did you ever do any work with the writer Meredith Willis?

AND, are you familiar with one of the great American novels that came out of West Viirginia - Tom Kromer's scintillating Waiting For Nothing? I've read it eight times. It's one of the indispensable books that leaves me breathless.
