To the person who said I need rehab, you don't know me.  That was not the disease Layne and I share(d). You don't know what you are talking about.  I'm not about to get into a pissing contest with Nancy, I will just publish her emails to me in the book.

The book depicts who Layne was. I don't need the money, that is not where all of this is going.  It is funny that people want a "Real" Layne book.  I am sorry if what I am writing doesn't match your fantasies about him, but it is the real Layne that is depicted.  Throwing up blood, being funny, everything. I know he was a private person. Fully aware of it.  Some things stay secret, that is understood.

Delete, burn, do whatever to the post. There is so much speculation that I felt compelled to write here. The book is going to come out and it can have awful reviews for all I care, but I am not changing my mind about publishing it.   I am aware people are going to be more than negative but that is alright. I am saying what I believe needs to be said.

Go ahead, write hurtful things about what you all perceive to be reality, what you think about me,  or who Layne was..... The truth is going to hurt, and there are other people besides you all on this board that can take a lot away from this book. It will answer questions for them, and that is what is most important. 

So go ahead and say what you all think. It is important to do so. I think my honesty has been less than restrained.
