  Everyone has a copy of BB's email to Paige, oui?  Suggestions on the delicate matter of what to do with our newest client, anyone? Obviously, we can't be connected in any way to an author with such a reputation as this person has. Do we use a nom de plume?

  'No I said I want white death lilies with the stamen ON NOT OFF!'
   
  Ohh Paige, sweetie, sorry just ordering flowers for the client, stupid florist can't do a single thing correctly!
   
  As for suggestions? heaven help us, I can only see a non de plume being helpful however do we need to seek out the Doctor concerning all of the personalities we are dealing with here?
  
  I don't believe the shock treatment has worked, it would seem the client has just created another personality to cover it all over once again!
   
  "Thank you, send the bill to BB Publishing.    Oh yes you will, I'm not paying for these out of my pocket"
   
  Can you believe that! darling, she wanted me to pay! Look I'll be back in the office shortly and I'll find Zen, Rolling and Style writer, we'll come up with something!

  Somehow this new submission from the client has missed my inbox.
   
  We can only work with what the client gives us. A nom de plume protects them, it will still be us listed as the publisher - unless we route it through one of our satellite companies. We could even put it on our Print On Demand service - that should obscure the title and satisfy our contract obligations.

  Check with legal, but I'm pretty sure that we can always reject what we believe to be an unmarketable submission by our client. We're not paying for garbage and we don't have to print it. If the client is upset with that, it's too bad. The client has to give us usable stuff; otherwise they're in default of contract.

  If only we could convince B.B. that this would be the best course of action.   He is, unfortunately, in love with the new concept; Bambi's prodding, I'm sure; and is refusing to listen to reason.
   
  I have yet to see any of the recent submissions, but I was promised a glimpse tomorrow.
   
  I will send a copy to you as soon as I receive it!.
