Not only did she plagiarize, she was caught because she plagiarized a scholarly article about ferrets.

Thanks for sending me the article! I should have replied, but I've been spending so much time staring at computer screens something's had to give, and one of those things is my email inbox.

Hey, I'd much rather have you posting new chapters of fanfic than replying to my inane forwards!

I remember much ado about that news story on NPR, and being astonished (like everyone else on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" or whatever program was featuring it at that moment) that something that so obviously didn't belong in a romantic novel (no matter how poorly written) would've gotten into print in the first place. That has to go in the hall of fame of "What was she THINKING?!"
