Readers Trolling Authors

-
If you are seeing this then you know I am not playing around. I am not holding back on voicing my opinion in the book world or anything else. 

This is the post I made on Goodreads last night for those that missed it: We all have different book taste I get it but if you are constantly rating books 1-3 with very little reason, I will unfriend and unfollow you. That is really trolling Authors and uncalled for. If you don't like certain books don't read them. Yes, we can have opinions and ratings but dang, seriously?! I had to unfriend someone because it was making me uncomfortable to see such ratings and reasonings.

As for why I made this post, simple answer. A 19 year old girl who I was friends with and following out of random, didn't know her at all had been reading Dork Diaries Series (one of my personal favorites). Anyways, I noticed she was giving it 1-3 stars for the first 4 books and I am like wait, that doesn't seem right. Yeah, Nikki is dramatic and everything she is a Middle Schooler. I mean, this girl was literally sabotaging Rachel Renée Russell for even putting out this series, it is for teenage girls or even adults that don't want to read Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. Then I went to look at what she has read just out of pure curiosity. Not only did she give Vampire Academy, Frost Bite, and Shadow Kiss all by Richelle Mead all about 1-2 stars, she did the same with Marissa Meyer of her Renegades Series. Now me and this 19 year old had about 50% of the same material of liking but what's worse is she trolled every book possible except maybe one or two that I could see. 

So, not only was she trolling of what I like to read on a personal level but taking out on many other books all because she claims to read all sorts of genres though is rating and reviewing with not enough context besides to complain about how bad a book is. I didn't dare read all of her reviews but what she did to Dork Diaries Series was enough for me to say no. 

If you are out to troll every Author out there, don't bother picking up a book because I am going to say this right here and now: I will unfriend and unfollow you in a heart beat. I have no reason to keep you around if you are to constantly downgrade an Author whether they are well known, starting out, or even famous. That is down right wrong on every level. 

I stand for all Authors except J.K. Rowling (I have my reasons). 

Thank you for reading this and as always happy reading!

Authors of Amazon & Wattpad: Going Beyond Traditional Route

Exposing our work is beyond the measure of reaching readers. We work endless on end trying to give the best ourselves as Authors to show that we can do it. This is where the world changes once you are with Amazon, you can't be shelved with anyone else once you are with them You can't be partnered with Smashwords, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, Ingram Sparks, and any other Publishing Company willing to sell your books without Amazon on your hind end. I did learn that when I was contributing to both Amazon and Smashwords expanding my horizon. That led to hoping not lose my Kindle Unlimited and Selects program that lets readers borrow books, so I stopped with Smashwords within 2 years even after selling my books for free on there. Now, I have since left them and haven't returned their program for setting up their books became to much of a hassle to deal with.  Now, I have been with Wattpad since it's start practically of 2008 when I finally settled to living in West ...

Coffee & Romance

-
I started a new book recently. The cover isn't new but the description is. It is one I believe my readers are excited for because not only isn't available on any writing apps like literally none. I have taken it and made it unique. I will admit, I did take it from another writer (he hasn't published since 2016 and last update was in 2022.) Don't worry the book has my own taste and it is at a much slower pace. I'm actually proud of myself especially with the twist from his story.  Love Over Coffee by Tobias Jarrett Link:  https://www.wattpad.com/story/202923962-love-over-coffee As you will read from it, it is rushed and the characters don't know each other. As my lovely husband called it a hardcore lesbian porno. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not shaming my ex-best friend for the story because well it has gained so much traction on Wattpad and it isn't finished. You are probably wondering where I am going with this...yeah, I knew that was coming. I was...

Personal Life: Lesbian In A Straight Relationship (Amber's Self Discovery)

This will most likely be the final time, I make a blog like this to explain myself, and not that it shouldn't matter what I do in my life. I have people watching me constantly and wanting life updates including what I see and believe in.  Let me make this clear on who I am. For most of my life I have been hated on, not sure why or how, I just am. I admit out loud, I am damn sure not the prettiest woman out there. I am used for sex more times than I would like to say out loud. I have been mentally abused since my teen years. I have been taken advantage of for my kindness. I have the worst way of expressing myself but when it comes to the truth, I am down right avoided for. I do suffer anxiety, depression, minor ptsd, and mental problems that I wish not to bring up to often. Yes, I can take medication to help my moods and everything else, does it help? No. Does sleeping help? I don't sleep since I have Insomnia and my brain never shuts down, I also have RLS, heart problems, and s...
