I can understand being worried about something like this, as I confess I was, until I learned it was nothing to concern myself over. This person obviously just wanted to pick a fight. It's sad that there are so many people like this out there.

I felt at first that I had to answer, as I want to answer ALL my email, and thought that maybe he'd appreciate the information. However, it's clear he's not interested in learning something new, he just wanted to victimize someone.<br /><br />When I realized he was just a troll, I told this person I would not correspond with them further as I considered the matter closed, and was hit with a barrage of emails where this person insulted me and just about every other YA author out there. I had to block his email. No doubt just another crazy troll who has ties to the self-published author he was trying to defend. I feel bad for that author, as this person is not doing him any favors.

Of course titles cannot be copyrighted, it happens all the time that books have the same title. Please don't let stupid people get you down Cyn and btw, I think you handled it beautifully :)Lynsey Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565424842334968772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355347363002021724.post-86609674476834275202012-08-16T17:00:20.799-04:002012-08-16T17:00:20.799-04:00Seriously??

The other day, I got a note from someone who follows my blog that told me the interview I did had a mistake in it and I should correct it. I have to say that I do not correct the answers to the questions authors give me. I copy what they have given me and paste it into my blog. I don't think it is my right to correct it, although I could always ask the author. But, of all the things to comment on, this is what you point out? Not, wow, great interview, wow, I'd like to read this author's book or any number of positive comments I could come up with. In the long run, people will have their opinions. I chose not to respond to this person, as much as I wanted to! I can't say I would have had the same restraint had I received a letter such as you did. People have nerve. There are many books with the same title out there. Anyone who does an internet search on places like Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Goodreads can attest to this. Ridiculous. I'll be curious to see if the person responds to you again. Good for you for standing up for your book, Cyn!!!The Cover Contessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936117064881855016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355347363002021724.post-9075264221113922642012-08-16T16:04:28.635-04:002012-08-16T16:04:28.635-04:00Yes, I think that many people who haven't work...Yes, I think that many people who haven't worked with a major publisher before don't realize how little say us "tiny" authors have in our books. A lot of times, they say jump, and I jump. I don't live under the delusion that I'm special, with a magical gift few possess. If I played diva and demanded a new title, there's about a thousand other willing authors who'd gladly take my place!Cyn Balog/Nichola Reillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121078028039128787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355347363002021724.post-72054809032389395592012-08-16T15:22:03.685-04:002012-08-16T15:22:03.685-04:00There are so many books out there with the same ti...There are so many books out there with the same title that I don't really think it's a big deal. If the title fits the book well, it should be titled that. I actually think it is rude that someone would call you out on it since really the final say is with your publishers right?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669564557768319285noreply@blogger.com
