Okay, that's not about me, I'm miserable in my own mind, stupid; tinnitus at full blast and paranoia stripping confidence.
Getting over it !
Normality is around the corner, over the bridge, under the low hanging trees, through the flower beds, across the meadow and into the far yonder that is closer than you think !
Give me a day or two more .....
Sorry !

An author whom I greatly admire (but who shall remain nameless, for discretionary reasons), posted a huge long rant on her Facebook notes page tonight about how she writes Literature, not mysteries. Basically she dissed every mystery author out there, as if they were an inferior species, and she got really disparaging about Cozy mystery authors in particular. It made me mad; A. Because I've read this author's books, and they're great, but they are NOT Literature...they're well, mysteries. Sorry. And B. There is nothing in this world wrong with writing mysteries. There's nothing wrong with Cozy mysteries, and there's nothing wrong with having cats as characters in a mystery, (evidently another pet peeve of this woman).

Sad story. Attacking unprovoked other authors is always a bad publicity. What I really fail to understand is, why mystery books are not literature...
