Q&A — Why Not Do What the Fan Wants?
This is Answer My Question Day. (Also posted on one of my FaceBook pages. Edited here for format) This post is longer than normal, which I hate. I may do more like this in future.

Great explanation :) Plus as someone who needs to use Audible, I have to deal with all the things the people who primarily use kindle complain about all the time, it's nice to have things the other way around for a change. That being said Khristine Hvam who narrates Junkyard Cats is one of the narrators who convinced me that having to changed to audio, could actually be an improvement and I would recommend that anyone who doesn't want to wait, at least give it a try.

It's very interesting, if sometimes puzzling, to see the things people write as comments. Some of which I would consider as very rude and would never say to anyone, even if I didn't like them. That doesn't mean I'm never rude, but it is rare.Sometimes questions just give me a window to view the significant differences between individuals. For instance, I'm the person who is not likely to attend an author book signing. This is not because I am uninterested in meeting the author - quite the reverse. However, I am only interested in meeting an author in the same manner I would meet other people - in a social situation where we can talk about whatever interests us, kids, grandkids, how hard/easy our last workday was, life lessons learned, frustrations - you know, real things people talk about.
I've never had the opportunity to meet (and I mean significantly meet, not just "here's your signed copy, I'm so glad you enjoy my books," but really meet) any of my favorite authors in a social situation, more's the pity. And it isn't likely that I will have such a chance unless one lives in or near my town.
And since I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, there aren't going to be any authors coming to do a book signing near me, LOL!
I promise I'll never harangue you about that online. Nor, most likely, about anything else.
If I don't like something in one of your books, you aren't going to hear it from me. The way I see it, your book is YOUR art, and the way it is is the way it is supposed to be. I get to ether like it or not, and if I don't, I don't really want you to know that, because it is not kind nor is it necessary.
When it comes to books, I rarely do a review that is overall negative.
As one human being to another, I want you to be happy with producing your art, and I know you will be able to see how happy others are by whether or not people keep buying your books.
I will tell you when I like your books, because I know it would feel good knowing that people liked my art. (I'm a painter, so this is something I have experienced.)
This particular article was quite interesting because it gives me a look at what others will say to an author online. In this case, may I say that I am glad I was raised to be a little more polite than that!
Wishing you well as always, and also as always, very much enjoying your books, however you publish them.
