Here's a question to my readers. This week there's been a lot of buzz about a blog post that Nora Roberts wrote. The title was 'Bite Me' and was to a few who keep coming to her blog or Facebook page and telling her how much they didn't like her books, even on posts where she is announcing a new release. She said that is rude, like coming to her dinner party and telling her the food is awful, but others say it is a public space and should be allowed. doesn't deny that readers have a right to their opinion, she just thinks negative opinions should be posted on sites that encourage reviews, not the author's own Facebook pages. Personally, I think she's right. This here is my author page and if I want to keep it positive and keep out the naysayers, then that's what I'll do. What do you think? Should a reader be allowed to come to an author's page (Facebook, twitter, or blog) and spout off about how much they think that author's writing sucks?
