Barb asked this question about Operation Hail Storm (Hail, #1):
Why does this author keep sending me SPAM emails with offers for his book? It's happened multiple times. After sending each email he deletes the user account so that I can't respond to him directly and ask him to stop contacting me. I'm doing it here. Brett Arquette, please stop spamming me through my Goodreads account.

There are proper places for promoting novels, my private messaging box IS NOT ONE OF THEM. And harassment is NOT a valid form of advertisement.

I do not read these kinds of books.
I do not LIKE these kinds of books.

And I will not be reading ANYTHING by this author, now or ever, even if he starts creating the kinds of books I DO enjoy.

Spamming people from immediately-deleted accounts only means you get a LOT of pissed off people looking for your author page. It also smacks of desperation and a lack of social skills, online or otherwise. If this man really things so poorly of his work that he thinks shady tactics are the only way to get people to buy it, far be it from me to disagree. You've convinced me dude, you AND your work sucks.

Now STOP SPAMMING ME.(less)
