Do any of these stories ring true to anyone? Not to me. I guess publishers are morons. I've never liked or understood this memoir fad anyway. Maybe this will be the end of it.

Perhaps some publishers see dollar signs and don't worry about anything else?
I will admit that I got a laugh about Oprah being fooled by the guy.

I wonder if I will be tempted to embellish my experiences here on CG when I write my memoir.
