Cry me a river?
Sep. 29th, 2015 01:16 pmMost of you know me by now: if something doesn't fit, or if it's a bit of a mystery that needs closer examination, I'm there with magnifying glass in hand. I just can't help myself. I could use a bit of assistance on this one though - it's a relatively straightforward request for information, so maybe it won't run into the wall of silence my last, more conjectural post did.
As I said, I was at a reenactment event last weekend, so I had no idea that Josh had finally 'outed' herself until I read a few different things - including her blog post, timestamped 2015-09-18T11:33:00-07:00 and headed "Coming OUT with a New Book!". This would most probably mean it was posted in Pacific Daylight Time which fits with a California location. For those without World Clock to hand it's the same time as 7:33 PM in London on the same day (the 18th of September).
( cut for little details )
Does anyone know whether there have in fact been vile hordes chasing after Josh with pitchforks, or is this just self-protective hyperbole? Can anyone substantiate these statements of hers with links?

ETA2: Apparently the discussion is turning into a mix of comments about the previous post and this one, so I'm just noting that that's okay, and carry on!!!
ETA3: Apparently there is a link between Lanyon and Killian in http://www.amazon.com/The-Male-Sleuth-Print-Film/dp/0810856816 (2005) - no copy so can't check (and it's a bloody expensive tome too), but it does suggest where the original rumours came from.
* maybe just a touch of sarcasm there.
** ...posts. Presumably public, unlike emails.
