I was so astonished that I forgot a post title
BEHOLD: A fantastically terrible tale of plagiarism that involves a mysterious man who gave the plagiarist and her writing group a manuscript, then "died" in a "car" "accident"; a "niece" of some random lady who threatens "a campaign on the sidewalks letting Seagull Book patrons know how you handle problems," before being repudiated as totally imaginary by her supposed aunt; a completely different alleged "niece" of the original author who simultaneously claims she has "verbal permission" to reuse the novel for her own book; the assumed threat of excommunication from the Mormon Church; and, I am 99% sure, at least two sockpuppets. Possibly three.
