[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think she's getting some $13 million over this I've got a bridge to sell you[/quote]

If you think the publisher is going to end up owing nothing or little I've got a bridge to sell you.[/quote]

You just want the publisher to owe bc for whatever reason, you think this woman was wronged. [/quote]

No. For a very specific reason. She was wronged for a very specific reason. 
The publisher will likely settle.

And every business or media outlet will stay away from her. Even employers will question whether to hire her. She has been branded as "metro becky" and that's not good.[/quote]

I know you want this to be true so badly....
But the publisher will settle. She will walk with enough to put this all in the rear view. [/quote]

I think you overestimate the strength of her case - and overestimate the depth of this outfit's pockets. They are an indie publisher in Los Angeles, not some huge concern. Plus they apparently weren't even her publisher - they'd agreed to distribute the book for her publisher, California Coldblood, which appears to be even smaller.

But I'm sure you're right that she'll support her family on the settlement for the foreseeable future. At least take them out for breakfast on whatever she gets.

Even crazier that a random distributor would issue a press release (falsely) attacking an author published by someone else.

Let them pay.[/quote]
