I know I said before I was going to release it but I never got around to it. I'd love to send it outside the US, since I think it was unfair that so many people in other places weren't able to get other copies.

Sounds good to me. You really do not want to get into a discussion with her because that will encourage her to go on and on (and on and on and on and on and...). If you try to justify your lack of interest, then she ma…

I was just a kid, like 10 or 12, when I heard people were burning her books. I was horrified, because I liked her books a lot and I'd never heard of people burning books. The idea had never entered my mind and I didn't…
