Neither of these things will happen.]]>3/11/2008 7:53:40 AM2008-03-11T07:53:40+01:00216221http://www.plime.com/l/41929/1/xml_widget.rss#q13<![CDATA[halo3forxbox @ 3/7/2008 9:21:12 AM]]>3/7/2008 9:21:12 AM2008-03-07T09:21:12+01:00144760http://www.plime.com/l/41929/1/xml_widget.rss#q12<![CDATA[jblades83 @ 11/23/2007 9:43:42 AM]]>11/23/2007 9:43:42 AM2007-11-23T09:43:42+01:00142462http://www.plime.com/l/41929/1/xml_widget.rss#q11<![CDATA[SarahFish @ 11/19/2007 12:40:02 AM]]> Drop the publisher. Go with one that is not totally bonkers.
She's a well-known kids author. There would be plenty of publishing houses waiting to snatch her up if she kicked her current one to the curb.
Enough of us authors do this, the publishers will eventually get the picture.]]>11/19/2007 12:40:02 AM2007-11-19T00:40:02+01:00142331http://www.plime.com/l/41929/1/xml_widget.rss#q10<![CDATA[Ellz @ 11/18/2007 7:37:40 PM]]>11/18/2007 7:37:40 PM2007-11-18T19:37:40+01:00142266http://www.plime.com/l/41929/1/xml_widget.rss#q9<![CDATA[ieldanth @ 11/18/2007 5:00:08 PM]]>
The only way I know of to make fire green is to put a copper filament in it.]]>11/18/2007 5:00:08 PM2007-11-18T17:00:08+01:00142241http://www.plime.com/l/41929/1/xml_widget.rss#q8<![CDATA[larknet @ 11/18/2007 3:49:24 PM]]> Now that is just silly.

I wonder if there are any instances of publishers being sued by parents of children who acted out things they'd seen in books.]]>11/18/2007 1:48:33 PM2007-11-18T13:48:33+01:00142170http://www.plime.com/l/41929/1/xml_widget.rss#q5<![CDATA[fregniacciaro @ 11/18/2007 1:40:12 PM]]>11/18/2007 1:40:12 PM2007-11-18T13:40:12+01:00142129http://www.plime.com/l/41929/1/xml_widget.rss#q4<![CDATA[Moe @ 11/18/2007 9:37:46 AM]]> Last time I checked, flaming breath was not an option on kids when you bought them.
