Every once in a while, I come across something so hilarious I have to share it, like Meljean Brook’s five-part Diary of an Author. Here, Brook (or M.B., as she styles herself in these entries) fictionally delves into increasingly obsessive author behavior, including creating fake e-mails in order to leave fake reviews, Internet arguments with reviewers,…Continue reading News Roundup
