"Dawgzilla is John Grisham. I thought y'all would figure it out from the MSU grad and lawyer connection. I have been posting around her here trying to develop my new novel based on an attorney who starts up an Internet-based relationship involving a dentist, a communist marine, a stuffed tiger with multiple personalities, and a mobster. Bbut, it turns out you people are just too boring and are now help to me whatever whatsoever."
....which makes the only believable part of your story to be the fact that you are an MSU grad and a lawyer.
