She was once as big as Stephen King, but then kinda vanished. Now her death seemed barely noticed.

Weird.

No, let me rephrase, I loved her early books. I think Blood and gold was the last thing I read of hers but I didn't enjoy the experience.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
