I read both the GQ article and Redemption and part of the GQ article was based on part of Redemption.
As for the market that GQ reached their market was already established and who else was Gelraldine Hughes to gear her market towards other than the fans? It is Michael's fans who have used her book as well as Mary Fisher to present truth to those who weren't fans.
I have come to know Geraldine and she tries to do the right thing so why hold what some say she failed to do against her? It is likely she was directed to say buy the book during times of interview shows and she was new to the whole media circuit so what else was she to do other than as she was encouraged? It isn't fair to condemn her for not promoting truth up to your standards. She has tried to do well and continues to do so, so why degrade her?
Do you know what effort it takes to have to stand in front of a camera and conduct an interview? It can be intimidating for people with experience and extremely for those without. Do you understand also that the people interviewing her could easily have tainted what she had to say in editing or twisted the facts she presented or she could have fumbled over her own words and lost credibility but the book was there and is still here to speak for itself.
Some may have wanted a more experienced writer but shouldn't we all simply be thankful that she chose to stand up and accept the call and challenge of writing such a book?
Comfortableness leads to complacency and the unknown can be very frightening but she stepped out in faith and I commend her for that.
As for someone commenting on fans at the courthouses actions PLEASE do not let that deter you guys from coming. Fans need to be there to push for truth and that is all that matters. I am urging the fans in L.A. who are able to be at the courthouse tomorrow. Please read my blogs. This is very important: www.sharonbsidney.blogspot.com
