Actually, from the sound of this writer, I'm surprised that they haven't started an equivalent of the competition where you have to come up with something worse than "It was a dark and stormy night" as a novel opening (can't remember the competition name off the top of my head, it's too late at night). She's lucky all she had was a bit of laughter from the Inklings!
This Erica Wagner ... she
is somebody other than a certain mild-mannered publisher at Allen and Unwin here in Australia ... isn't she?
