Given that I rarely pay attention to an author's personal life, that's not a problem for me. I read the book and if I enjoy it, I enjoy it. I suspect that quite a few authors that some here read might not stand up to extensive scrutiny. Who was it that said, you show me the man and I'll find the crime?
