Thanks, Trooper. She changed reviews on BOTH books. I wrote, among other things, "why would she read the second if she disliked the first?"
My gut tells me this wacko will drive her shitbox car, even in ice, to be @ this reading. If it gets too icy it will be cancelled.
Hey maybe it is a good thing if she shows up. You know accidents can happen. Just sayn'
But I don't think she has the balls to show up.
Someone emailed me to say that she is duking it out with Fen over at TOP about her so called daughter.
Good times eh?
I like Leslyn and will do what I can to help, but Spinelli needs to start wearing a dress.
Shoot 'em in the leg. Get a grip, cowgirl!
It's hard to play fair when your wife is involved.
You need to get it done without leaving any fingerprints.
Well Trooper, we know she has more balls than brains. Thanks, again.
Sixty, How about a kilt, you shanty Scottish, hillbilly wood fucker. Ever cornhole a wood knot there Bubba?
Ugh. I reported. That woman is insane.
Can someone post the Amazon link so I can report?
Here is the link. Inga's comments are under the name Mary.
She made on comments on both books. "Taken for Granted" and "Taken by Surprise."
Oh, you were serious. And you, a private eye!
Thanks, folks.
My comment(s) at Amazon regarding inappropriateness.
Commenter has grudge against author's husband. This commenter has only submitted two reviews, both negative and directed to the author and her husband.
First I bought the two books, then reported Inga's insane spam.
Whatta goddamn asshole.
Spinner - leave the tire iron in the car, just in case the psycho shows up at the reading. She is crazy, but it would be insane to get into trouble due to her bad behavior.
She (Mary at amazon) keeps evolving. What I flagged as inappropriate on this one is the "such a realistic account" remark, when it is clearly a novel. How would she know whether it's realistic or not and what does it matter? Review the book, not the author's marriage. Her change in wording is making it more difficult to discredit the review as the outright abuse it was when she first started filing reports. Which is cunning, one step past dark into evil.
I'm wondering if her current method of dissing undercover was learned during the negative (union driven) response blitz to the Scott Walker book. Inga in her online life appears to have a strong involvement with unions.
Reports have been filed.
Forget Inga. What if the Evil Blogger Lady or Leisure Suit Larry shows up at the Madison signing.
Hilarity will ensue.
Done! I also downloaded her book to my Kindle app. I really liked her first novel, and I can't wait to read this one. What a lovely and talented wife you have, Nick. You can tell so much about who she is from her writing.
I think Amazon readers are familiar with these vendetta-type reviews that crop up from time to time. Inga gives herself away with her personal comments. (Boys and girls, can we say "Personality Disorder?") I know it's hard when people attack a loved one, but have faith that Leslyn's shining qualities will be evident to anyone with even a modicum of discernment.
Youse guys and gals are the best. And yes, MamaM, the morphing is pure evil. But, there will be no reading tonight. The bookstore owner of Mystery to Me, wisely called it off. A real wintry, icy mix started an hour ago. This owner has been very good to my bride and sold a lotta books. The store is not far from the Days of Wine and Roses couple. But, I don't see them ever showing up, unless they've had a box or two of wine.
kalmia, Thank you. My bride is about 10 times better than me. Our daughter alerted us to this latest horseshit. "Who is this fuckin' Mary bitch?" is an exact quote. She takes after her old man.
Pogo, Thanks. Inga is selling books! Karma is a mofo.
Aridog, Perfect.
I am curious how Amazon handles these things - it is automated? Do human eyes ever read the complaints? Can reviewers be banned?
I'm pretty sure somebody at Amazon eventually does evaluate these kinds of situations, and they seem to do it fairly judiciously. I know Amy Alkon went through something similar. Don't know how long or how many complaints it takes, though.
I wasn't sure how many words the compliant form would accept...so I kept it brief. My point was and is that her commentary is not about the books, but the people behind the books....that is not the object of a review. Be like me "reviewing" "Death in the Afternoon" by calling Hemingway a heavy drinker.
That book, BTW, taught me a concept about courage and how much it takes to hang out over the horn and not beside it as you make the final passes and and totally expose yourself in the final sword thrust. It is not bravado, very quiet actually, just doing it. Some toreadors did and others side slipped. I was young when I read the book and fixed in my mind was to never be a side stepper if I could help it.
I'm totally against blood sport, but I learned a concept from Hemingway's book that I experienced later in life when everything hung out and I had no choice but to be exposed to near certain mortality. I recall being breathless and strangely calm, resigned, and scared out of my wits at the same time. Hemingway had prepared me to understand that. A reason that I recall it today as if yesterday I am sure.
Too bad they canceled it Nick... but just imagine if they held it and a fun couple from Madison showed up....just imagine.....
Hemingway drank? First I heard of that...
I flagged both of her screeds and reported them each as abuse, twice.
Just doin' what I can for Leslyn. She is a nice person.

Send her this link for the shape shifter with more pseudonyms and histories than the Wizard of Oz. Finished college, or "some college", degrees or not, RN or LPN, retired or fired, retired or applied for disability, widowed or divroced, etc etc etc?A year or more ago someone who reads top and comments infrequently wrote to me and asked me to let up on the shrew because they knew for a fact she was a mental basket case, amazing detail actually...e.g., don't be cruel. So I've not bothered with her since.
Pssst: the link I cited will cut you off after a couple or three views and ask you to register.
Look on the bright side - we'll have Ingeberg to kick around for another 30 years. YAY!
Spinelli said [other thread]...
... I'll owe you all a beer...
And I might just take you up on that because I will very likely be passing through Madison, within the year, on my way to Spring Green to a breeder/importer of German Shepherds I know there. If traveling with dog(s) I likely will stay at the Super 8 on the "beltway" drive coming and going.
Nick...here's the deal, you buy the beer and I buy the dinner at whatever gourmet place you chose. I'd prefer Italian with superb Veal Saltimbocca alla Romana like the old Hugo's used to served here to the likes of Frank Sinatra or sundry Giacalone's back in the day, as well as and my motley crew...anyone really. Food to die for...
Mainly I get to meet your wife who writes so well. I know little of fiction, ... novels, etc. and can surely learn a lot over fine dining, cognac and such. Last "novel" I read was Sienkiewicz's Trilogy..."With Fire & Sword" my favorite.
Aridog, We love dogs and we have plenty of room! Just babysat our son's dog. We've had to put down 2 dogs in the past few years. My bride did a reading @ a bookstore in Spring Green. Just let me know when you're coming through. We're a lot better than a Super 8! I got into LaQuinta travelling w/ our dogs. They all take dogs.
I'll cook you some Eyetalian.
Ari, She is whacky. And, I would let it go. But, she keeps coming after my bride. UNNACCEPTABLE. That said, I respect you for your restraint.
kalmia, With help of friends from here and elsewhere she was deleted when the first book came out. They were quite responsive, took less than a week.
Crazy bitch. Reported!
Nick: please let me know the date and location of the re-scheduled reading. If we aren't traveling, we'll stop by.
Complaint filed with Amazon.
Yow, there's a reason to not use a dating service.
Haz, Absolutely! It looks like it'll be in April after we get back from SD.
Palladian and Haz, Thanks much.
Inga lists her martial status as divorced (which is not surprising) but I recall her always making a big deal out of being widowed.
I will go lodge a complain, Nick.
chick, Thanks. Just one of many lies. "Bachelors and Masters in nursing from Marquette" does not comport w/ "Some College" on the lonely hearts club website. Just 2 of many.
...but I recall her always making a big deal out of being widowed.
Your recollections are on target, El Pollo. Here's the soliloquy offered at 5:15 (Jan 22, 2012) with "witch" to refresh your memory with regard to His Wonderfulness. It was one of those episodes that let to the whole, Fuck You, ride off on your broomstick, side show.

I adore you, MamaM.
Thanks Cody Jarrett! I've a soft spot in my heart for villains with a sense of humor and perspective.
It's what keeps TY from turning into a total ass crack with issues.
