1Opinion of the Court
MAX N. TOBIAS, JR., Judge.
[ tThe plaintiffs/appellants, Anton Heine (“Heine”) and Anton, Ltd., filed a defamation action against the defendants/appel-lees, Julia Reed (“Reed”) and HarperCollins Publishers, L.L.C. (“HarperCollins”). The trial court sustained the defendants/appellees’ exception of no cause of action, and the plaintiffs/appellants timely appealed. We find that the published statements do not meet the elements necessary to support a cause of action in defamation. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s ruling.
