I hate it when that kind of thing happens. I thought your post was well written and I am sorry that Mr. Gutherie took you referring to his posts personally. Sometimes we just do the best we can and hope it all works out. <br /><br />I hope that things settle down very soon.<br /><br />Ardee-annRamblingWordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531030521466418144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542108120359675711.post-69079591891913409612012-03-29T08:38:09.037-07:002012-03-29T08:38:09.037-07:00Thanks for commenting, Stephen.

I just feel so strongly about keeping the marketplace open, I felt I had to speak up.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment on my cover!Kathy Lynn Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15776248628873347107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542108120359675711.post-83344655611719755672012-03-29T07:47:37.444-07:002012-03-29T07:47:37.444-07:00Great Post, Kathy.

I haven't been at it long enough to have a good answer, yet, but I've been trying to keep my nose clean for the most part until I learn my way around the territory a little better.<br /><br />As for the topic of keeping people out of Amazon... You definitely see this on comment boards a lot. I agree with you, Kathy. <br /><br />Personally, I think that writers who get agitated by the "tsumani of crap" issue are paying attention to the wrong thing. You can drown in 10 feet of water as easily as 50 feet. The publishing world is an ocean and you need to be able to swim. Or better yet, build a boat. Write the best book you can, give it a the best cover you can, and then see if it floats. If it doesn't, then competing with a mere 500,000 other people instead of a million just isn't going to help you. But if it does float... <br /><br />No one is "not able to find" my book because other people are posting bad books. Rather, people ARE finding it because it's good and readers are kind enough to say so to their friends, and because I work to make it as visible as I can. <br /><br />oh... and love the cover for your new book!
