		<description>Wow...is all I can say. Noticed this over at Legend Readers and I have to say it&#039;s despicable. Whether or not your whole story is utter bullshit I can not quite decide Miss Lee, but really I have to ask how can anyone be so stupid as to dig themselves into such a hole? And I am sorry but you overuse your condition and problems in life, we&#039;ve all suffered, it does not absolve you from anything. In my opinion you brought this upon yourself by hiring a ghost writer, you should take pride in your work and actually write it yourself. Do feel free to flame me as you no doubt will.</description>

		<description>Pilsbury sounds likes a great agent.  She charges $500 for a book comparison, charging her own client for something SHE should have noticed?

On top of that, what kind of agent places a clients book with a vanity press which charges excessive fee&#039;s for something you can do yourself at LULU.com?  IF this ill fated book was any good, an agent could get it placed somewhere without having to pay to see it in print.

AG Press runs from a free hosting site full of adverts, hardly professional guys?  Personally, I&#039;d run a mile as oposed to paying them a dime to support my work.

Lanaia has been shafted, not just by Mr Hill but all concerned.  Game over really!</description>

		<description>Ah, I wondered if DA was the only recipient of her &quot;gifts&quot;.  I did put her in the spam folder though so hopefully she&#039;ll just continue to limit her harassment to emails instead of on blog posts.</description>

		<description>And now she&#039;s spamming various book review sites with more threats of lawsuits if these sites don&#039;t publish public apologies. Included in the sites she&#039;s contacted is a site that reviews only gay historical fiction, and the site owner is understandably confused, never having heard of Lanaia Lee, much less said anything about her.</description>

		<description>Proof Lanaia?  What proof?  A bunch of cut and pasted text?  That is hardly proof.  Without headers you could have typed it out yourself.  Do you realize how utterly foolish you look?

Just go away.  The internet doesn&#039;t need you.  Nobody cares about your writing.  Your poetry is like that of a 16 year old emo.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You and others caused me the stress I suffered another stroke, you could be nice enough to read the revised version.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Errors in this sentence (using the term loosely) include: 
--Incoherent runon clause.
--Incorrect use of comma (should be semicolon).
--Whiny poor-me post.
--Attempted guilt trip.
--Belief that anyone would want to read, or care enough to review, a &quot;revised version&quot; of a book that was plagiarized in the first place.
--Belief that the poster is a writer.

Lanaia, you are not a writer.  Your writing proves this, even without reference to what we know about you being scammed by people you hired to do the writing you were unable (because you&#039;re not a writer) to do yourself.

This woman has &lt;em&gt;got&lt;/em&gt; to be a hoaxtroll.  I cannot imagine anyone, even after a stroke, being this obsessively self-destructive.</description>

		<description>Lanaia,
Is this challenge open to anyone or just the person stated?  As a Gemmell fan, I would perhaps say that Im one of the Gemmell experts that could find any singular reference left within the pages of the novel should it so exist.

Let me know if you need someone to check it as with over 30 books to go through it might take your rep some time to do so.</description>

		<description>You know after you write enough you become a little more literate and yes this is me and Of Atlantis will prevail. I just want to know why Jane won&#039;t read the revised version Of Atlantis. This is a five volume series, nothing like Gemmel&#039;s work. Jane, I&#039;m challeging you. Are you going to accept? What&#039;s wrong, scared because I have documented proof on my side?</description>
