Hi Hen81,
Of course she would get sued to repay an advance on a book she never delivered. Why would a publishing company give money away? I don't think there is anything tricky about this. Ms Gotti backed out of the deal, she should repay the $70,000 advance. |

Didn't Joan Collins get into that kind of bind a while ago?
I think the court ruled she could keep the advance.
I think she delivered a book the publisher pronounced not fit for publication. |

Didn't the same thing occur with
Puffy as well?
I agree with A_womon, this is a
business, and the business is to
generate profit not give it away.
Everyone has a story and not all
have the abilty to get out or the
desire the time to dictate it. ;o)
Won't Be Denied,
