How about this:

"So because a courtesy was not made .... and the added likelihood that there's a lot of other factors I am not further privy to ... the author is a 'crook' and disrespectful."

It's certainly fair for you to react with skepticism based on what little information you have. But don't think she's being completely unreasonable and has no foundation for saying the things she's said for the same reason.[/quote]

We've been told to "cut her some slack".

Shouldn't exactly the same comment apply to the author and publisher? Not all the facts are in. We don't know their side of the story. Before I lead a lynch mob down to torch the offices of Hermes Press and hang the author/"crook" from a light post, it would be kind of nice to know if perhaps there just wasn't a simple miscommunication. We know that Sal Buscema was contacted, as was John's former rep. Perhaps the assumption was made that the immediate family was informed through those channels, in particular, through the agent.

As electrifying as a hair dryer thrown into a hot tub, my friend!
