Tomi should have done her research..smh

Negotiate:
I just dey read dey go... no stopping!
The words just blend and smooth like Lagos Ibadan expressway.

the English flow well well.

this is what you get when u throw shades at a writer.
they can destroy u with words.
this is kindly-cruel.

Savage with the sauce,served like a cocktail... Maturity is bae, LOL

Class act from Nora Roberts, Tomi's refusal to even take down the post in the first place was not well-thought-out, hopefully she's learned her lesson. We were all supporting her when she was shaded by Nnedi, she went too far with this thoughtless action.

Tomi should just issue an apology to Nora. This could be the beginning of the end of her writing career if she doesn't do something quick to clear the mess she created. What was she thinking accusing a seasoned writer that has been writing since before she was born? It's preposterous, a badly thought move.

Mehn! I enjoyed what I read. I learnt.

I honestly didn't read that and I'm very sure most of those commending the writer didn't read it as well, not even the highlighted portions..

After going international, Tomi is still local

If you had started reading at all, at least the first paragraph, you'd have finished it. It was so enjoyable, so articulate.

JeffreyJames:
Some people get mind sha. Accuse a whole Nora Roberts of "stealing" your title. Title o. It's General knowledge as a writer that titles can't be copyrighted. But I guess our Nigerian aunty didn't know that before she started ranting on twitter. Accusing someone who started writing before you were even born wrongly. Nora Roberts kwanu!!! She doesn't need your title to push sales!! Her Name alone is Sales!!!!

ComeAndobo:
A Havard educated writer like this Tomi person should have known better. Anyway there is no negative publicity, hope she can gain from this epic roasting

Gain fire...... I'm totally disgusted already.
...anf it can also work against her, trust journals, publishing houses and others to take sides and you know whose they'll likely take.

Such a legendary reply! Nora Roberts has been a genius for ages. With the likes of Sandra Brown, Danielle Steel...etc.. Just look at the intelligent use of her words alone.. I guess our Aunty here is looking for a little form of cheap popularity.. Only that Sidney Sheldon is no longer alive, perhaps she would have accused him too haha

We learn everyday. I love Tomi and everything she stands for, still. She's young, she's new and she sure is one hell of a good writer and that's what matters to me.

JeffreyJames:


I'm expecting Nora and her team to take it to the courts. Let the foolish Tomi pay through her nose. Very silly thing.

I'm just imagining myself as part of her legal team, I'll be rolling on the floor begging to file a case against that big head.
I wonder how some people think, it's a title.. title, not a full paragraph, not quote even, title!

Yeah.
Ever heard hardwork and talent takes you to the top but character and attitude keeps you there?

I hope you have now, what she did is wrong, if you're fan it should bother you.... it's not her personal life, it's career related and involves someone else as well.

Worse part is, Nora's book was released a year before her own o.

I've gone past that level. I now see everything, good or bad as a spectrum of existence. So that when any of these happens to me or whoever I happen to like, I don't take it personal. You might not understand, don't expect you to, but that's what rocks my boat.

Tomi is a child and she acted like one.

Her early success got to her immature head.

In the words of Achebe, she's like the little bird nza that got high on palmwine and challenged her chi to a wrestling match.

Mature response from Nora,social media has made otherwise smart people dumb.

h

Damn, this was one hell of a response... pheeww

Lies. It was an enjoyable read. I just wanted her to go on, and on.

Trust me, you won't regret ever reading any of Nora's writings, she's so simplified that everyone and anyone can easily understand, she rarely uses recondite words and she's so poignant and witty with her words--she's absolutely one of my favorite writers of all time.

Nora Roberts and Francine Rivers are the two women that certified me as an official nerd because I never stopped reading...more ink to your pen madams, Tomi kindly apologize or if your bloated ego won't allow you then take a chill pill.

Nora is one hell of a wonderful woman. An average American would have gone to court. Please ma forgive Tomi, she's just a baby.

na wao accusing Nora Roberts the Queen of romance novels of stealing a work.Aunty Nora just sue her biko.

When I saw the name I assumed there was a Nigerian bearing nora Roberts. You mean an up and coming Nigerian writer is accusing The Nora Roberts of plagiarism, wonders will never end.

Nora Roberts we know.....
But who is Tomi Adeyemi
