This is a comment made on Brian Keene's blog in a post where he is once again talking about Dorchester and their loss of anything resembling a conscience. If you haven't been reading Brian's blog for Dorchester updates, go ahead and scroll up from the linked comment to get a basic rundown of how terrible things are with Dorchester. But what I really want you to read is the comment, and I want to share part of it here to explain why I think this is worth your time:
Before Dawn's death, she turned the rights to her books over to her sister, Diane. Diane is disabled, living at the poverty line (which Dorchester is aware of). Last August she got a notice that one (just one of Dawn's books had earned $4300 and a check would follow. A check never followed. This is the same thing that happened before. Chris sent a notice that $10,003 would be forwarded to her and that never came either. She is barely getting by and nearly died last week, and is now facing heavy medical bills she cannot pay.
