reileen...Making Light and Dear Author bring you Lanaia Lee! Bonus: the author's e-lawyer sockpuppet lawyer/agent/witchy avenger Cheryl Pillsbury shows up in the Making Light comments! (Hoo-hoo!) But if the threat of black magick retribution weren't enough, you should be ashamed, ashamed I tell you, to even think of causing stress to a woman to a wheelchair-bound stroke victim who lost six children due to her hypertension! But seriously, Ms. Lee, if being on the internets is so dangerous to your health, maybe you shouldn't, you know, be on it?
Number #3 on Dear Author's "Top Ten Tips For Plagiarists" says it all: 3. Don’t advertise as writing “because I feel each person has something unique to share with the world and writing is my gift to share” when, in fact, your uniqueness is actually some other person’s uniqueness.
Ho-lee hell.
EDIT: A slightly different take on the situation can be found here. Apparently Lanaia's ghostwriter is a rather infamous scammer in the world of writing and publishing, so it appears that she may not be completely at fault here.
Still, the fact that she hired a ghostwriter and then can go on to say that writing is her gift to share is rather...special.
