Alright, I had a look at her website, her bibliography which I added here, looks good enough to me, so that's a keep as far as I'm concerned. Wouldn't want genuine authors to have their wikipedia entry deleted, more than enough frauds out there. Equendil Talk 01:49, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright
I shamefully copy/pasted a small and neutral paragraph from the author's site, which was promptly removed for copyright reasons. Seeing as I'm stubborn and didn't see the need for altering the wording, I e-mailed the author instead, requesting permissions to include content on wikipedia, which was kindly answered and reproduced below :
> I welcome your expansion of my entry. I just checked what had already been done and see that there > is one error that needs to be corrected. > The statement below: > "She also serves on the Alabama State Board for Cerebral Palsy, standing up for states citizens > who have suffered under the same affliction which ailed her eldest son." > > Should be revised to read more along the lines of: > "She also serves as a representative of Hoover, AL on the board of the Mental Retardation/ > Developmental Disabilities Health Care Authority of Jefferson Co.,Inc., standing up for Alabama > citizens who live under afflictions similar to Cerebral Palsy, which ailed her eldest son." > > Let me know if any questions arise.
