Hey there LandSpeed Louise,
Give us your publisher's E-Mail address and we'll
tell him to back off and let him do your stuff.
After all, Land Speed Racers are the subject of
the book and Land Speed Racers are going to be a
big part of the readership!! If he doesn't
listen to our collective voices he doesn't
deserve the right to wear the publisher's tee-shirt!!
