Paul’s comments from the Read with Pride Northwest group.

Got my ticket purchased!! Thanks again Tracy, you did an amazing job last year and I'm very excited to be there again this year!! :)

It was kind of fun to write in. At least they did respond :)

If enough customers complain, maybe things will change!

I recently emailed Jeff @ Amazon and thought I'd post my response from them and the email. Um, not impressed at all :(

Hello,
I'm a very active Amazon customer, which I'm sure you can confirm by reviewing my account.
I have purchased hundreds of eBooks, and I can only think of two that were not M/M Romance. My question is, why are all the advertising emails I receive from Amazon for mainstream authors and NEVER for M/M Romance.
I'm sure this is an oversight or error in your emailing algorithm. I would hate to think this was purposeful discrimination towards your gay or gay-friendly customers.
I would certainly enjoy getting emails containing new releases of M/M Romance eBooks, but if that is not possible, I would like to know how to opt out of receiving emails for books I have no interest in.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Paul Wright

Hate to say it, but space 36 is not the last one."

Thanks Beth :) I'll read another and get it fixed!
(see what happens when I print out the board early?)

Teela and Beth have both completed it... I feel like such a slacker! LOL!

Andrea wrote: "I think there's one book in particular that makes people cry. (That would be Infected: Bloodlines, which I seem to apologize for all the time.) But the rest of my stuff won't make you cry, I promise!"

Never apologize! I'm in the middle of Prey and after getting into it, I'm loving it. Books that make me feel are always my favorites. Besides, there's nothing wrong with a good cry :)
