On the other hand, it's difficult to determine when and whether it's okay to ask. I of course agree that at a minimum I hope good things happen to good people.Stephen Kozeniewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185600045044927669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224206690870340098.post-12742758772898784672015-06-27T15:51:25.711-04:002015-06-27T15:51:25.711-04:00Not takings sides (well, I guess I am), but I see ...Not takings sides (well, I guess I am), but I see my horror, speculative, and bizarro author friends struggling a bit more than authors in more "acceptable" genres. I have not gone out and gotten exact percentages ( I only saw one of my author friends in Barnes), but I like to support people who I see are striving for something more and if I get something in return, that's great, but not a requirement. I just love to see the "good guys" win. I don't think it should be every time an author publishes a book and authors should not place blame on readers for not being able to publish or finish their work. That's just bad form. All I can say is that we, the reader/supporters, have a choice in where and how we spend our money. Hopefully, it is to someone who appreciates it and uses it wisely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849313691418514013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224206690870340098.post-92121030330464963852015-06-20T12:05:25.675-04:002015-06-20T12:05:25.675-04:00Two CDs...NUTS!Two CDs...NUTS!Stephen Kozeniewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185600045044927669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224206690870340098.post-51033319631507100762015-06-20T04:36:11.846-04:002015-06-20T04:36:11.846-04:002 CDs?
