Disclaimer: I like the series, will be buying this book, and have had no interaction with the author; didn't even know she had an LJ.
The exchange about the surgery seems fairly light-hearted on both sides, so I don't really think that's wanky, tbh. It seems pretty apparent that Thurman is feeling the pain of being genre midlist in a weak economy, in an industry that's having seizures because it can't handle technology. I think that's understandable, even if it could be handled more graciously.
That being said, the linked post does not make me interested in following her LJ, nor do I think I will inform her that I'm likely getting this next book in (paid) electronic form, because I don't want to know how it affects her NYT ranking. :P
