This was rather embarassing, at first i thought it was a joke but it is not. The saddest thing is that her last books are embarassing too, characters lack of reality… Well i guess i just don’t care that much about her personal life or if she thinks there is a conspiracy against her, i just want to read another great book, like the ones she used to write in the past, with true characters!

We all loved the Scarpetta’s serie, please return back to reality!

Just found this, and thought I’d stick my nose in, assuming the thread is still open. While I don’t know who in the Pentagon invited Patsy (as her family calls her) Cornwell to appear on an aircraft carrier, her brother is (unless he’s retired) a field grade officer in the Air Force, and he may have asked her. I’ve known her brother’s family for years, had assignments at the same bases, her nephew Jonathan and my son are close friends – it almost broke my heart when Jonathan came over to my house to ask me if my son knew about his aunt’s lesbian affair (it had just hit the news) and to talk to me about it – his parents wouldn’t discuss it. Jonathan has a younger sister, so I wonder how his parents felt when Cornwell had her alter ego have a lesbian niece. (Details courtesy of her nephew, I haven’t read her books, and after watching Jonathan struggle with the publicity years ago about her same sex romance, I don’t think I ever will) Anyway, my point is that her Pentagon contact may well be her brother – since I doubt they approved of her extra-curricular activities, she would probably give him an emphatic “no.” But conspiracies? That one has me scratching my head.

Can’t believe most of the comments I just read, if you don’t like her books don’t read them – why do you all feel you have the right to bad mouth a person’s writing ability or life for that matter. Why do people only have insulting comments, my mother always told us “if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything at all” I have tried to stick to this rule as life is hard enough without people speaking ill of you as well!!

Cornwell inspired me… Now I’ve actually made an underground Cornwell-hating group of people called The Truth Society. Not posting any links because we hope to remain anonymous and we’re not listed on google, so don’t try. We have official forums but not a website. If anyone actually WANTS to join you can contact me at invision2k7@gmail.com.

We do more then Cornwell, we also have Paolini tagged for it, too. It’s fullfilling. Bad authors who are full of themselves… Why not?

t’s one thing not to like hearing negative comments from readers.

It’s quite another to blame the government and the Billy Graham family for the bad reviews.

Cornwell used to be one of my favorite authors and Scarpetta — warts and all — one of my favorite fictional characters. In recent years, however, both she and her editors have let the quality slide.

Hopefully, she’ll take notice of the comments and take more care next time out.

I love Patricia Cornwell and the controversy that follows her. She is strong minded, incredibly talented and i imagine at times – quite willful. How much of a contribution will she make to and has already made to our society in her field of work? I love you Patricia Cornwell, keep me intrigued with Scarpetta and do us all a favour and kill off Pete Marino, better yet, let Lucy slow cook him for what he did to Kay.

This is fantastic! I havent ever really tuned into this kind correspondence before will daily for this entertainment!! Poor Patricia Cornwell, how hard it must be to please every person with an opinion about your work. You like, love or hate the fictious characters in her books, it doesnt take away from her credibility as someone that has carved a place as an author within the world. I counted 47 posts on this page, now compare that with her book sales over the years and divide it by “hateful minions” and you still have a very succesful woman that, sadly, still doesnt like to hear people putting down something that she’s done. I have read Book of the Dead (reluctantly at first) and was suprised and pleased that she had once again found her form and produced something that I couldnt put down. As for all of the conspiracy theories, bi-polar and alike, two words – Britney Spears! Any publicity is good publicity! Sad but True!
