NOT REIMBURSED

Sometime ago I read an article stating that the FTC stated every blog writer must now make a statement when writing reviews or making recommendations for books or products. We must let readers know whether or not we have received any kind of compensation for praising the writers we read. Sounds very inept (or should I just say stupid and get it over with?) to me. But here goes.

To all of my readers who have heard me praise the following readers or their work--I, do not personally know these authors, their agents, promoters, or book distributors. I purchase the books or magazines with their work in them with my own money--and have not been paid to write a good (or bad) work about them or their work.

The following writers have been discussed in my blog:

Natalie Goldberg, Charles Martin, James Lee Burke, James Patterson, Kenneth Koch, Lisa Jackson, Robyn Carr, Zane Gray, Charlotte Harris, Jane Eyre... Oops, she didn't write a book, did she?

This could take forever, folks, and I think it is so ridiculous I refuse to be a party to such time consuming affairs. So sue me!

Sue me for what? I didn't get compensated, remember?
