I was in line at a book-signing table and the author was in a hurry to catch his flight so a handler was reading off our name tags for the author to inscribe. I don’t know who “Emmy Lou” is, but if ever meet her I have a copy of a book for her.
When my older daughter was 6 she wrote a letter to Taylor Swift. A few months later she actually got a reply! The letter – with picture – itself was a form letter (extremely Taylor-esque in its wording), but across the top of the letter in Sharpie was hand-written, “To Deborah, Thank you! Love you, XOXO, Taylor.” My girl looked up at me with shining eyes & said, “SHE SPELLED MY NAME RIGHT!!!”
Spider Robinson was the best! I was in a long line at a convention. He was probably exhausted by then yet he smiled and joked with every person in line.
Pumpkin Jed has an over-inflated idea of his own importance. I think it fitting that he lose these two fans. Too bad he’s already fleeced them for the money paid for those books.
I was right about Jed messing up Corky’s name. Jed may possibly be partially deaf, but I’m inclined to think that he just doesn’t care. “Hollow Inside”, indeed!

Pumpkin Jed needs to pay more attention or get hearing aids.

Corky doesn’t look Welsh.

OK, this is good! On top of the misspellings, it’s topped off with “I’m your hero!”

Why do you think everybody called Carl Yastrzemski “Yaz”?

LEGENDS don’t have to spell names correctly, evidently.

Don’t take a chance with anything you can’t spell. Just sign the doggone book.

Pumpkin Jed has an attitude, one that should not exist until it has been EARNED!
