Hi Sophie, while browsing on GR, I came upon your profile and saw your photo. It makes you look like a person of color, which you obviously are not. I'm sure there is absolutely no intent to deceive your audience of fans, but it's misleading nonetheless at a time when we should be making sure writers of color are getting their due recognition.Would you might consider changing it? No need to make this question public.

Hi Cayce - I've changed the photo - actually, I never liked the old one which I took in a hurry and was only partially visible in! I don't think there was any danger of me being mistaken for a writer of colour - there are two videos beneath my profile photo which make it clear I'm not - but thanks for reminding me to replace the photo with one that shows me more clearly!

Are you aware that when you run a BookBub special - as you have just done - it blocks sales to other countries? Bookbub only seems to work for US readers although people all over the world sign up for it. If I go into my Amazon account I can buy your book, at normal $ but if I go in through a Bookbub offer, I get a "This title is not available" message from Amazon. I've contacted Bookbub but they have not responded.
