This woman is a legend in her own mind.

The woman is 50% self-delusion, and 50%, well, just simply a really, really bad, awful, terrible writer.

Her lack of talent is astounding.

Her attempts to elicit sympathy are so clichéd and fake, it makes me want to hit her round the head with a DLA form.

You can hit her with mine if you like Taweret. It's usually about an inch thick by the time I've finished with it so packs quite a punch.

I still feel very sorry for her but love the comments.Its so tragic what happened to her and her daughter.I cant help it,I know how I felt,the poor poor woman.Im not commenting on what happened after I just feel so sorry what happened to her baby,remembering what it was like for me.The poor sod.

i find it impossible to feel sorry for her.
I will save my compassion for people who deserve it.
who don't use the sad situation they find themselves in to make money and preach rubish.

I really don't have energy to waste on feeling sorry for people like Julia.

As 2shoes pointed out, there are far worthier causes.

The whole thing is a disgrace, just shows the sad state of our society that she even got it published.. She obviously thinks that writing a book somehow legitimises her actions, and makes them perfectly acceptable. The woman has no shame!

I wonder whether our comments will stay on her blog. I've saved them to a Word file in case they are deleted.

so riven is NMC ffs talk about being left out of the loop

Yep. Using my middle name....

i keep nearly posting on her blog but can't be polite.
might let ds

It's awful, she makes Tania sound like a fuel efficient car - you only put 300 in and you get a lifetime's service !
