Does Catt LeBaigue actually exist?

I expect she does. She's an AAR member, and long predates the association of Tom Dark/Peter Danison with the agency.

An email to me from Catt included this information about Tom Dark's sales. "Regarding our new agent, Tom Dark, no he hasn't had any sales yet, except one which we're not crowing about."

The reason they're not crowing wasn't given.

Stranger Than Fiction

You know what's weird . . . I mean weirder?

After his multi-page diatribe, since he was outed -- an outing engineered by Dark himself -- we haven't heard word one from MR. TD.

This is great stuff from the viewpoint of a suspense writer. And the freezer comment? Beyond funny.

HE's WATCHIN' !

...your point?

If Tom Dark wants people to start take him seriously then I tell him this: put on your big boy pants, grow up, stop asking people to 'fight your battles for you', and sell books to legitimate publishers. If you want to be seen as a literary agent, act like one. Stop wasting your time with all the other useless crap.

Aaaaaaaaaah!

James D. Macdonald · May 27, 2009

Calm yourselves, folks.

DaveKuzminski · May 29, 2009

Hopefully, I'm in actual contact now with Catt about Tom Dark. If so, i should know more fairly soon.

I'm trying to find the "DELETE MEMBERSHIP" radio applet or buttons to activate to let me out and make GO AWAY. But I can't find any. Would someone in the control room push the right button to DELETE ME ?

It's time for me to go Bye bye.

CaoPaux · May 30, 2009

If you want to leave, then leave. We don't delete memberships.

If you don't like it here, just stop coming in. Seems easy enough to me :Shrug:

Cyia · May 30, 2009

I think he wants his user name to disappear off the board as though he was never here.

No.

Now unplug your computer. Problem solved.

nokiauser1 · May 30, 2009

Ok. Thanks

Wow. I'm new to Absolute Write. Shoulda popped some popcorn before reading this one...

DaveKuzminski · Jun 2, 2009

Gee, I responded to Catt's email. So far, no reply. Now I'm beginning to wonder if it was really Catt and my response was deleted so Catt wouldn't see it?

Tburger · Jun 2, 2009

Surely there must be someone here who lives in their area and can pop in, phone, or heck, what about snail mail?

DaveKuzminski · Jun 3, 2009

It's now Wednesday and still nothing. Maybe I should divulge some non-specific, vague details which are all I've received to begin with?

Maybe it was Catt who emailed you, but the head of the agency asked Catt and Tom to stop responding. With her fingers tied she doesn't answer your email.

Since the exchange was "non-specific, vague details" I see no reason to break Catt's trust. I realize that maybe Catt isn't behind the initial email, but we have no way of knowing the truth. If the information in the email doesn't provide any value, why take the chance of breaking further communications with her?

Members and visitors have enough information provided by Tom himself to come to their own conclusions.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree. I think we can can definitely let it rest at this point.

I agree too. And we all know how much weight Tburger carries around here. :tongue

heh

Well, I don't know about "around here" but I'll bet I'm usually carrying at least 25 extra lbs wherever I go these days. The FOOD out there SUCKS !! It turns ordinary decent law-abiding men into fat raging psychopaths. Hmmmm... sound familiar ?
