Aislinn asked Keira Andrews:

I'm curious why you chose to change blurb for Beyond the Sea, presumably as a thoughtful response to the concerns raised by some readers, but then changed it back? The book stands or falls on its own merits; I'll likely read it as I think how the characterization is developed can make any trope well done or not, and I have hopes you handled it as sensitively as you did the Gay Amish series. Quite confused now.

Keira Andrews Hi Aislinn! I did tweak the last two paragraphs of the blurb last week to make it more clear that the story is about characters who start off self-identifying as straight later discovering fluidity in their sexuality. At some point, a librarian apparently took it upon themselves to edit out the tagline from the blurb on Goodreads. Another librarian added it back in. I'm not sure why any of this happened as I wasn't involved.

Thank you so much for the praise for my Amish books, and I hope you enjoy Beyond the Sea if you read it. :)
