Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know that I am going to be deleting my Goodreads account which means I will not be able to interact with readers using that forum anymore. I was reminded that many perceive this medium as being for readers more than authors and I am beginning to realize that is a true statement.
I've tried in the past to ignore the comments I've seen on the site as they pertain to my work, but unfortunately that is not always possible. So it will be easier just to remove the site as a way to communicate with readers. That being said, Facebook and my website will be the best way to interact with me going forward. I AM NOT BASING THIS ON ANY ONE COMMENT OR PERSON - this is just something that will work better for me in the long term. I have a tendency to get too caught up in ratings and reviews anyway so this will be a good thing that will allow me to focus on the joy of writing. I believe my books will still appear on GR so you can review them, but just be aware that I won't be responding to comments or posting teasers or blog posts anymore. Thank you! Sloane

It's a sad day when anyone feels the need to post negative comments on any page, site, blog. Perhaps there should be classes on how to post a constructive review because clearly some people don't have that skill set . Sloane, I appreciate your skill your talent and the fact that you share with us all. Namaste'

I agree with the earlier comments and am sorry you feel the need to do this. Is there any newsletter or other way to get notices of sales or snippets etc? I don't see a way to subscribe to your blog but perhaps I've missed it? I'm not on FB anymore, so I hope there's another way to keep up.

I don't typically post snippets anywhere besides FB but I do have a sign up to be notified of new releases. You can find it on the upcoming releases tab. Just enter your email and submit and you'll be added to my mailing list. Thank you!

Hiya, I've never felt the need to comment or contact authors I love, until now. I love your books, the way you write create these complex and very human characters moves me, I cry with them, shout at them, laugh with them.. you are a talented author beyond a doubt, so please don't let ignorant people who are unable to be constructive or subjective in their reviews bring you down. You're doing a great job!
