The regular rules shouldn’t apply to people who write thrillers!
Here’s the skinny from Chelsea Cain herself, even as she languishes in Facebook Jail, no doubt subjected to torments we can only imagine…
“NYT bestselling thriller author, Chelsea Cain, suspended from Facebook for making a crack about “murdering people for charity,” which she does, routinely, IN BOOKS. Fans bid for the privilege. This has raised tens of thousands of dollars for local organizations. This joke was made on her author fan page. FB responded by suspending her author page AND her personal FB page. #Facebook #FreeChelsea Please RePost. And if you know ANYONE who can help reach out to them.”
A chilling effect!
If thriller and crime writers can’t kill people, imagine the tepid titles to come:
Rude Behavior on the Rue Morgue
Microaggressions on the Orient Express
Anatomy of a Quality of Life Crime
Dial “M” for Misbehavior
Shoplifting, She Wrote
Chelsea says she's back on FB. We had fun, and maybe changed history. Thank you!
I'll be choosing the killer pardoned turkey winner this afternoon. Cross your fingers.
Keep at it. I'm signing off for a while so I can petition the governor.
