"update: Nora was kind enough to reach out & explain that today was the first she’d heard of my book. After talking to her, I believe our titles were created in isolation. I’m grateful she explained & I’ve apologized, but I wanted to address it here as I know others were upset too"

Yeah...I'm not getting the feeling that she learned a damn thing.

Same. I don't mean to be unfair, but that's a fairly weak apology that makes it sound like a misunderstanding where both parties were mutually at fault, or that Adeyemi's public accusation was a reasonable one... when neither of those things were true. I'd respect her more if she owned up to the fact that she made a hasty, unfair accusation and that it was a poor judgment call on Adeyemi's part. This... this is underwhelming.

Nora Roberts didn't even deem it an apology:

While this writer issued a kind of retraction after I reached out to her, it didn’t stop some of her readers from calling me a liar, and worse. We reached out again, asking her to put out the fire.

We’ve had no response, not from her, not from her agent.

Shame on them.

I had every intention of letting this go, until the flames kept burning, until the attacks kept coming. And nothing was done by the person who lit the match to stop it.
