To clarify, for anyone who thinks that I believe I'll actually be getting this $5,000 bribe. Nuh-uh, ain't going to happen. This blog post is snarky fun but also shows why eBooks are a good way to get all the bang for your buck.

25 years ago today I was at my desk at Michigan State University, following the news on my computer while fielding phone calls from work and home. I took many walks to the gardens with scared students, we would sit on the benches together and just try to slow our breathing. (1/2)

As of 7/28 I'd blocked 352 bogus literary promoters in email. As of today, that number is 487. The day they all finally give up and move on to a new grift, I will rejoice. PS: I miss my sweet Nigerian Prince and his money pleas.
