As we go into December, I want to give an update on what’s likely going to happen.
If Random House chooses not to respond by the end of business 23 December 2016 this all goes away. They’ve had my email enquiries since early November, and without response by 23 December I’ll consider the matter closed. The group will disappear from facebook and the post on my blog will be pulled down.
Frankly, the odds are this will happen, or Random House will say, “No.” This would not surprise me.
There is no road to releasing the completed book as a free PDF to the public as the rights are protected by CBS, Random House and Karen Schnaubelt Dick. I’d be served a cease and desist at the very least. And I very much believe in respecting the rights of creative professionals being one myself.
I’d like to thank all the people who enthusiastically jumped up when I posted the material. It’s nice to have work you love doing supported.
