“How would you like it if some huckster was trying to sell you something while you were attending a funeral? In all likelihood, you would punch the huckster in the face. Unfortunately, Grand Central can’t be punched in the face through Twitter.”

Well. Except that Twitter isn’t a funeral. It’s Twitter. I can’t imagine Grand Central meant insensitivity by their actions.

I apologize that my expressing via Twitter the loss of Donald Westlake by RT’g folks’ kind words and blog tributes was taken as spam.

As the voice behind GrandCentralPub on Twittter, I very much appreciate, respect and value the community, the followers, as well as the readers and book bloggers I follow in turn.

RTs were posted to acknowledge the time fans and readers took to express themselves and to remember with great fondness Donald Westlake.
