I appreciate that you want to defend your intellectual property. You'll note, however, that in the sentence in which I describe the plot of Bebris' novel as being rather predictable, I was specific to mention that her novel was predictable. The sentence might have been ambiguous, but that was my intention, and most of my readers actually understood that. As I can see how this might have been misconstrued, I apologize if you felt this was some kind of personal slight on your own work.
I hope you understand that I have to delete your post. You are entitled to defend your work at the site of its supposed slander, but I am not running my journal give away free promotional space. I, and I alone determine what things I "sell" or otherwise promote on my journal. If you are going to be reading or commenting in the future, welcome, but please keep that in mind.
