Wow I just don't know what to think. I now think Janet Evanovich or at least her daughter Alex is rude. Why?

There is a new author out called Stephanie Evanovich. People are trying to figure out if they are related.

From JE's Facebook page.

Spoiler:
Quote:
Q: Are you and Stephanie Evanovich the same person, or is this another co-author?
A: No. It seems there is an author using the name Stephanie Evanovich. Janet has no association with her work.
Then later came back with
Quote:
Q: Are you and Stephanie Evanovich related?

A: Janet is not related to Stephanie Evanovich Gaspich by blood. Evanovich is Janet's married name. We wish Stephanie the best in her writing career, but it is extremely important to Janet that she is always honest with her readers about co-authored novels and projects she has helped with. You deserve to be treated with respect and gratitude, and to know that "Stephanie Evanovich" and "Janet Evanovich" are two different people and authors.

**Sorry for not posting this part earlier. On Facebook less is usually more, but it seems I should have posted everything we have on the site's daily news this time. -- Alex (webmaster/Janet's daughter)

Now why do I find this rude?

From Stephanie Evanovich's Facebook page:

Spoiler:
Quote:
Q. Is Stephanie related to the author Janet Evanovich?

A. Stephanie Evanovich: Hi Brenda, Janet is my aunt. Her husband and my dad are brothers.
Quote:
Q. ok this might sound really stupid but Im a huge fan of Janet Evanovich, but have never heard of you till now. Is there any relation between you two? will definately check out this book now.

A. Stephanie Evanovich: Hi Tammy! It doesn't sound stupid at all, Janet is my aunt. Sadly, I can't say I swam in the gene pool, she is married to my dad's brother. But I still can proudly say I was inspired by an icon. Thanks for your interest in both me and BGP, I hope it makes it to your reading list. TGIF!!

Wow talk about family discord! I never seen an author on Facebook do anything but promote one another and be positive about other authors. ME thinks Alex has issues with her cousin! Instead of just simply explaining who Stephanie is she dissociates herself from her own cousin!

What do you think about it?
