Reader Reviews
It's unfortunate that Ms Quisenberry is still spreading untruths...here's the real story...I did indeed contact Ms Q., et al, to assist in ghostwrititng chapters for this book since I was approaching a deadline at the same time that I was in renal failure awaiting a kidney transplant. I paid her for what I later discovered was plagiarized material from a college web-site. The very same Judy Bass to whom Ms Q refers, was the one that brought to my attention the fact that several paragraphs in Ms. Q's material were outdated and appeared to have been written some time ago. After entering some of the passages from the material that she submitted on Yahoo, I discovered that her submission was taken from a paper that had been published on some college web-site years earlier. Too bad she hadn't proof read the material before submitting it as her own. Obviously, her submission was not used and I had paid her some $1200 for nothing. The book was written by myself and one other writer who agreed, as part of our arrangement, that there would not be a writing credit. All that I've stated is true and verifiable (I still have her time-stamped email submission along with the college web-site info), though I doubt anyone, save for Ms. Q who, sadly, is still talking about this some 5+ years later, would be interested.
