I will look yet again at DU to see if they are covering this little story......but I will bet they will studiously avoid the obvious.....that Cindy's 15 minutes are up.
This situation doesn't make sense. A publisher wouldn't set up an author's booksigning like this. The publisher wants positive publicity which will sell more books. We need more info on details. Even if Cindy engineered this particular booksigning by herself, surely she has friends in the movement who will show up at her booksigning to congratulate her, encourage her, even buy a few autographed copies.
