For those who haven't heard of this phrase before, the Author's Big Mistake (a term I gleefully swiped from Uncle Jim) is responding to a review.
But this one isn't the usual "author has tantrum about bad review" kerfuffle. In this instance, the author really has a case. Because...
She didn't complete the novel before the scheduled publication date. So when the harsh review was published, the book hadn't been written yet!!!
I wish I had a link. Well I do, but it's in Swedish <g>:

If we have any Swedish or Swedish-reading members here, I'd love to know more about this case.
