naomi_jayI'd never heard of Jessica Verday before yesterday, but I definitely plan to follow her now. This is such an awesome response to such a nasty situation.
I have to confess, I feel weird about Trisha Telep being involved. She was my agent until last year. We didn't part badly, but we haven't had any contact since then, and I can hardly say I "know" her. But her response to this still surprised and saddened me. The more time I've had to reflect on things, the more I've come to realise we weren't a good fit agent/writer-wise, and I'm grateful now that we parted ways when we did. I'm even more grateful now, because I don't think I could have happily remained her client under the circumstances. I'd hate to see this become a witch hunt, because the internet is pretty unforgiving, and threatening anyone with death (as has already happened) is never an eloquent solution to a problem.
On the other hand, Jessica Verday is in the right. Whatever else you may make of the situation, that's undeniable. And I'm buying one of her books on payday, because anyone with that much integrity is worth reading, as far as I'm concerned.
