Or not - it would seem. Just out of curiosity, I typed Cassie Edwards into my trusty Google search engine. Her web page in officially 'Under Construction'. Did she make that decision? Her agent? Her publishing house? Her lawyer? Does it speak more to an admission of guilt or is it simply an act of self preservation?
Smartbitchies(www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com)really hit this one out of the ballpark. Giving a friend some books to read turned into a life altering event for one unsuspecting author. Or did she suspect? Did she live in fear that in this great age of the super information highway exposure was just around the corner?
Honestly, I can't believe she was ballsy enough to continue to do it. Twenty, heck even 10 years ago, sure. But today? Where typing someone's name in a search engine can reveal a wealth of information about their transgender journey that makes you wish you never typed their name to begin with because you were going to have to sit across from them at the conference table the next day at noon. Ladies, that's personal experience I am speaking from right there. Talk about digression! That was years ago and I am STILL nursing those wounds.
ANYWAY....
It's really been interesting to watch this story unravel. Like Angie said, "Can you imagine waking up one morning and..." That's paraphrasing and hopefully she hasn't yet copyrighted those words... ;-)
Thoughts? Leave comments after the jump. Okay, I don't know what 'the jump' is...but other bloggers use it.
