Some time ago, when Susan Lindauer first appeared on the scene, I heard of her book and offered to write a review of it. I sent her an e-mail and then a check to cover the cost of the book at her request, and then embarked on a string of e-mail correspondence about the review not yet even written, or the book not yet even read. After a while, I decided to return the book and beg off the opportunity to review it. I was told I could not have a refund and that the deal was that I write a review. I declined the refund. I declined her demand that I return the book which I had paid for so she could send it to some other potential reviewer. Finally, given her insistence that she had gone to great expense to provide me with the book and could not afford to send another, I sent her the funds to cover four such books which she could then send to others.
If anyone wants my "read" on the impressions and preliminary research that suggested to me that I sidestep this woman's tale, send me a PM.
