This author does NOT quote Bromenshenk, because I would not let him use our  
information unless I had a chance to see how he was going to use it in the  
context of the book.   That didn't happen.
 
He is wrong on many things, but the one about areas of the U.S. without CCD  
completely ignores my comments that our maps were accurate up to June of  
2007.  For everyone's information, within six months of that date most  of the 
supposedly non-CCD states became CCD states, even those in the SW.  
 
So, his basic premise is wrong; and from my perspective, much of the  book is 
just as inaccurate.  
 
From our first conversation, he contended that he was going to write a  ~300 
page book on CCD - that struck me as nonsense - none of us working on CCD  
would have agreed to write 300 pages on a disorder that we were in the early  
stages of trying to understand.  I could not have found 300 pages  worth of 
credible information that early in the process.  
 
Keep in mind, publishers like to sell books.  Put a conspiracy spin on  the 
whole thing, you've got a hot seller.
 
I've been burned too many times by journalists.  I enjoy and cultivate  
relationships with objective journalists who let me see a draft  BEFORE  
publication.  The ones who tell me that they've a great story BEFORE  talking to me, 
make me nervous.
