Thanks, Kathy. All we can do is what we can: speak out, and support authors and publishers who embrace the freedom to write. Best, Ric

Thanks so much for your kind comment, MJ. What you say is all too true, not only about my prior novels but some real classics. Consider, for example, Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary.

10 years ago I would have been fine. No longer. So consider the young authors whose books would be quashed without anyone knowing about it. That's a big reason I spoke out. Let writers write, and readers judge

Best,

Ric
