What's stuck out the most for me...are the people that think it's unfair to persecute Cassie Edwards. Some people have spoken out in her defense without looking through the many books and the plagiarized passages, and without caring as to the impact this could have for all writers.Chelle Sandellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03813658527826989105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33170374.post-64855394483594933942008-01-16T15:03:00.000-06:002008-01-16T15:03:00.000-06:00Oops!

At first I thought Ms. Edwards had taken another writer's story, but this was research information they were talking about. It really started me thinking about the research for my stories from the Internet. <BR/><BR/>Recent case in point, in my Ch. 10 of HOT FUN Linda and Doc visit "Chicken Bone Beach" in Atlantic City. The history I used came from a web site, and I didn't really change it much. Rather than changing it, I think it will be safer to just include a credit at the back of the book.<BR/><BR/>This stuff is serious business and we have to be careful.Chicki Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866110558880351017noreply@blogger.com
