SALES FAIL//SERIES GOING DOWN
All right. I received my royalty check (which puts the KFC worker I saw today with her polyester pants so tight I could see her thong in a better earning bracket than me.) For those who didn't check the CHIMERA contest (several entries below), I do want to be clear with this. The best analogy really is a TV show = an author. If a TV show does not get its viewers to watch, it gets cancelled. If I don't get sales/rankings, something of mine gets cancelled. Poof, it's gone.

I can understand where you are coming from, but if we stopped reading, listening, viewing the art of artists for being disrespectful towards the consumers of their art then there'd be almost nothing left to do. I personally will buy the book if it's good. On the other hand if the author is nasty to fans I will probably rent it from the library. (LOL doin' that already - too poor)

The arrogance and disrespect shown to her readers by the author on her website and her "tweets" means I won't be buying another of her books. Some people do not have the social skills to be let loose on the internet. Rob Thurman appears to be one of them.
