Reader Email: The Story that Won’t Die
Don’t Ask Me
Man, I’m coming off a great weekend, actually got to work on the book project, found out a member of my family is welcoming in a NEW member of my family and then I get the Monday morning Email. What the fuck guys?

Hey Rog. Been a reader for a long time now. I wrote you a while back about a Samantha Styles movie. Thanks for the help. I was checking out Darrah’s PSB and found a thread about Skeeter Kerkove. I was going to write to you to see if you knew anything about the story. (As you may recall I am a fan of the man and have wondered where he went. One of the comments in the thread was from DonHouston and wondered if you had any comments on that as well. He has some not so nice things to say about you. What is his beef with you? Thanks, Dillan
Thanks Dillan. I hadn’t seen the story about Skeeter. I don’t know anything about it and have no comment on it. (Other than to question any story connecting Skeeter to a TS. Sounds a bit like people piling on.) As for Don’s comments…(They are below.)
Don Houston wonders…..
“As far as Skeeter is concerned, I was always most curious why he started attacking Roger Pipe with the claim about secret POV scenes between Rog and Aurora Snow. Yeah, Rog sucks up to her most frequently in a fanboy manner but I wondered where Skeeter got that idea in his head (Roger whining at me a few times for “supporting” Skeeter when all I did was ask what happened between the two guys). Ideas?
WTF? Why would THIS question pop into Don’t head in regards to this story? It has always been my policy to talk TO someone rather than ABOUT them. I have never had anything bad to say about Don in public or private. That isn’t going to change, but I don’t know what this is all about. He has long delighted in taking public shots at me, but his tone in person and emails is always cordial so I extend that respect to public forums as well. Maybe it’s a way to draw attention, but I can’t figure it out. When this ‘story’ broke I wrote more than enough about it. I wrote directly to Don who chose to play Devil’s Advocate on boards. That’s his right, but apparently asking that he not fuel the fires was “whining” and I’m a “fanboy.” It wasn’t the asking that was the problem, it was the tossing shit my way after the explanation was given. I don’t know why he says stuff like this about me. I’ve asked him, but he says he has no problem with me. I will treat Don with the same respect as always. He has my email, my number and access to say pretty much whatever he wants right here on this site. So why take petty shots elsewhere? It’s not like I’m hard to find. I don’t get it. This is such a tired topic. I almost wish there were POV scenes to show you guys at this point. There aren’t for the record, but I will post them the second they are shot.
