I will be at the Roseland NJ public library tomorrow night at 7 p.m. to speak about the book.

Please come and meet me if you can.
I’m still thinking of requesting this book for my local library. I’ll try to do it when I get the chance.
I HAD completely forgotten about the debt! You’re so honest to remind me.
Beating people upon Facebook…hmm… 
Thank you for these suggestions.
You’ll be amazing.
Thanks for your support!
Our library system has 3 copies. I’ve requested a reserved copy for local pickup.
The reviewer likely received an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC), which is essentially a proof copy sent out to reviewers, purchasing agents, etc. well in advance of actual printing, and which may be missing final changes such as an index.
I’ll be on this radio program tonight at 9 pm EST:
The host has engaged an anti-vaccine idiot as well alas.
Heinze self published some dreck on Amazon. He has a poor little daughter who has been diagnosed with type I diabetes. It’s unfortunate that he’s under the delusion her dreadful illness was caused by the hep b vaccine rather than a combination of genetics and other factors.
LavenderBlue, I hope they at least have the idiot on before you.
It was an interactive format where we talked to each other. I mostly feel sorry for him. He’s clearly dealing with a terrible disease in a beloved child and trying to make sense of it. His response over and over and again was essentially look at the research. I hope he moves past the anti-vax websites and into some real research and some really true passionate help for his daughter grounded in authentic research rather than quackery. His poor little girl certainly deserves that.
Whoa. Now there’s an anti-vax kids’ book. 
That’s revolting.
Efforts are being made to chase after her. I’m against censorship. I’m not in favor of giving every nut a platform.
Here’s a petition urging publishers not to go near it. It’s self published so that should be a nearly automatic indication that the book does not deserve access to readers.
A very large vendor has removed the book for sale in Australia:
I think we can call this a victory for sanity and common sense.
One of my facebook friends keeps posting anti-vax garbage. Arrgh.
I’ve been busy, but I still intend to request that book for the local library. (LavenderBlue’s book!)
The reviews on amazon.uk are a riot - even the 5 star ones. There’s only one supporting one that I can see and that’s an appeal to pity for the author whose kid died and she blames MMR vaccine
At least Messenger is getting publicity. A previous antivax book she co-authored with Meryl Dorey has a grand total of one (one-star) review (act now, only two copies left on Amazon at $192 apiece).
Wherein I recently pwned an anti-vax idiot on a podcast.
I’m a little late with this, but apparently there was a small error in LB’s book, and the anti-vax crowd went utterly apeshit
Wow. Some people have way, way, WAY too much time on their hands.
What a wackjob that lady is with the two Facebook pages about this book.
I swear my next writing project is going to the most frivolous historical fiction imaginable. It gets a litle tiring constantly being called a baby-killing-Nazi-pharmashill. Bring on the parasols and the princesses! The tiaras and the teacups.
Oh, go ahead and set feminism back all those years, why don’t you…
