MY RESPONSE:

Happy to answer. 🙂 I have been receiving death threats for years because of the criminals we have exposed on WritersWeekly.com. One guy threatened to hire a hit man to “take care of me,” and also threatened to kidnap our children. (By the way, he later sued us for exposing his scam and he lost. The judge threw it out of court.) I’ve also had a few stalkers over the years.
