Robert Kingett<p>The current drama in the book world consuming all of my attention is this Britt Andrews Kickstarter. Her supporters gave her a total of, well, more than $95k for a Romantasy book and she buys a restaurant. Ahem! Just wow! I just don't understand why she didn't hire a ghostwriter with all that money if she didn't wanna write the book. I can't find any good blogs covering this, so here's a channel with videos about it. Like, for real! If you didn't wanna write the book, hire a freaking Ghostwriter instead of buying a restaurant!
