    I really think that involving a lawyer at this point would be jumping the gun. If she publishes it as fiction - then that's all it is. If not, then you would have to read it to know if she says anything that would be derogatory/slanderous, and warrant action on your part. She's within her rights to write and publish a manuscript and there's not much you can do about it, unless it is harmful to you or the kids.
    How did you find out about this anyway? Could it be that she's just blowing smoke???

    Hey ladies. I am not going to go the lawyer route. I really do not know at this point what type of book it will be. I found out about this from a friend of a friend and then my son told me last night at dinner that she has it posted on her Facebook account.

    I tried the alienation of affection thing back before our divorce. They do not honor it in my state and my state is also a no-fault divorce state. So, even though I had an expandable file folder of the emails from the two of them back and forth while they were having their affair, it didn't matter.

    Like I said, I am way over the break up and divorce, I am very happy, my kids have grown into productive and happy adults and I have moved on. It just sort of irks me that she would have the nerve to write a book. However, a good friend of mine said to just get over it. LOL.

    LOL. Write your own book - publish the emails and call it the Sequel!

    If she publishes it, you could write one heck of a book review on Amazon.

    Lots of people write books. Even fewer get them published, and the percentage that actually get marketing and distribution is even smaller. I'd not worry about it.

    Ohhh...I forgot to mention...she has published several of these postcard books in my area. Books that have historical pictures and postcards in them. She used to work for a publishing company in Connecticut before she left her kids and moved to Pennsylvania to be with the "love of her life".

    That's hysterical!! She might not write her little book if she knew you had these emails!

    I'd crease the cover on every copy in the store.

    It is tacky. It is embarrassing to both your ex-husband and her. I am curious. What do your children think of this?

    I'd take the high road and ignore the whole thing, unless it proves to be grossly inaccurate and a total character assasination.

    Your kids are old enough to know which way the wind blows.
