It was very interesting. There's far more detailed information in it than I'd previously known about the famous phone call to Phil Schwartz wherein Barbara Bauer tried to get me fired.<BR/><BR/>I'm also surprised to see Masquerade Books dragged into it. I was for a time the editor-in-chief at Masquerade, but some vast number of people could say the same. Richard Kasak, Masquerade's publisher, fires everybody sooner or a little less sooner. You might think of it as a temp gig. I certainly did.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, if Barbara Bauer sold books to Masquerade, and hocked the company for Lyn Davenport's royalty statements, she was dealing with Richard Kasak, not me. I'm mildly surprised that she managed to do that at all. Richard Kasak had a thing about agents -- just plain didn't want to deal with them. <BR/><BR/>Given the amount of detail in those unsourced allegations, and their furious tone, they can only have been written by Barbara Bauer herself. <BR/><BR/>I am, as ever, amazed at BB's stupidity and lack of self-control. By attacking people who reproduced the Twenty Worst Agents List, she focused attention on herself and her presence on the list. Getting AW shut down got her a huge amount of attention, all of which tied her to the Twenty Worst Agents List. And if she continues to persecute me, I will eventually write up an amusing account of it and post it online, at which point her name will have even more mud attached to it.<BR/><BR/>Barbara Bauer could knock this off any time. She's only doing damage to herself.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/" REL="nofollow">TNH</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
