A friend of mine that is a successful writer (Kevin Dockery) says that as a working author he refuses to read others' manuscripts because of the chance that he might accidentally incorporate some of the plot into one of his own works. The liability is there if he acknowledges reading a story and then ten years later writes something similar, and then gets his pants sued off. Some authors don't even read published works in the same genre to prevent contamination. Mr. Brown's failure to return your e-mail may quite possibly be linked to his desire not to protect not only his, but your literary ideas too. On the other hand he could be just a isolated mean-spirited geek. Dunno, never met him. Still getting over the Olympic hangover? Andre'
