Another example of an author not handling things as well as he could. (I'm not 100% that the link will work...) I've seen worse than this and the author does appear to get a hold of himself pretty quick, but it did get me thinking though...
Does anyone else think that the internet and especially sites like goodreads are making instances like this more common?
I imagine that in pre-internet days it would have been much harder for an author to make an idiot out of him/herself.
Of course, it's not like the internet is holding a gun to anybody's head and forcing them to look bad...
The internet: best or worst thing to ever happen to authors?
