Chris Crossont asked Barbara Nickless:

I enjoyed the Sydney Rose books but I have to say that you got Comicgate 100% wrong. From what was in the book seemed like a wikipedia entry more so than reality. I was curious where you got your information on what is really nothing more than a consumer movement that is doing nothing more than asking for respect from the writers and publishers of legacy characters that are currently in their care?

Barbara Nickless Chris, please forgive my long delay in answering. I've been traveling more than I've been at home. First, thank you for reading my books. Second, thank you for reaching out with your question. Bear with me, as it's been a few years and I've researched a lot of things between now and when I wrote Gone to Darkness. I remember Comicgate coming to my attention in a mainstream outlet, and then doing a deep dive. I read opinions from both sides of the divide. One thing I've learned: there are two sides to every story. I respect your opinion about Comicgate.
