A public service announcement again... ?

Please do not use the Author Q&A feature to try to ask private questions. They cannot be answered privately.

Use the Goodreads private messaging system instead -- that's what it's for. To be found under the little envelope icon, I believe. I have recently reset (I hope) my GR email to public instead of limited to GR-accepted friends, so any GR member should be able to use it. In theory. Unless I'm misunderstanding the system, which happens.

(If the questioner has not also set their GR email to public, or possibly been friended by/friended me, not sure, I can't message them in reply either.)

Anyone who actually has used the system is invited to chime in down in the comments to explain how in more detail. The method is non-obvious, unfortunately.

Ta, L.
