He has no visibility that Terry doesn't give him so as much as she wants to stand up for herself and call him out, restraint on her part might be more effective to dilute what little leverage Jonathan has.

HOW STELLA GOT HER...You make an interesting point. HOW STELLA GOT HER GROOVE BACK is based on her romance with her now ex-husband. Some could argue that if she can use her life as fodder for novels, why can't Jonathan Plummer. The major difference, however, is that Plummer has nothing more to his credit than being Terry McMillan's ex-husband. That makes S&S particularly pathetic in giving him a publishing deal.

At the time of the protest, however, I happened to be recovering from shingles. I appreciate your question and hope that you are visiting other blogs of similar authors and holding those who have not acknowledged the Jena 6 case in the same way. Have you? If so, who? And what have they had to say? <BR/><BR/>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119121981775915686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11781421.post-80270199066999339312007-10-09T00:04:00.000-04:002007-10-09T00:04:00.000-04:00This doesn't have anything to do with Terry or tha...This doesn't have anything to do with Terry or that situation but I didn't know where else to post this. <BR/><BR/>I was just wondering why you haven't spoken about the Jena 6 or the protest that happened on the 20th of September.
