By all means Tanya, bring your "unrestrained honesty" to the question of how you knew Layne.  If you are asking people to plunk down money for a book based on your relationship it seems only fair to ask the nature of that relationship.  After all, you've already been caught out by Baldy in one lie, that you declined a sit down interview with the band.  

You say you are 28 years old which, according to your claims means you were 17 when you started hanging out with Layne.  So please, tell the people whose money you are asking for why they should believe your stories about Layne to be the truth rather than the product of an overactive attention seeking imagination.
