Re: Hey there

1) Should my novel ever become available (your mouth to God's ears), it will be a couple of years down the road. Most books you read (save a few big name examples and some types of nonfiction) were written years before publication, revised, edited, submitted to agents, then editors, and re-edited, and put into production and it's a big long process. Chances are that Amazon.com will have done a complete 180 before I even hear back from the agents I submitted to.

2) If they haven't, I won't have to boycott my own book, seeing as how it would fall under Amazon's "restrictions" in the first place. I'll just tell people to buy it elsewhere. From stores, or from other websites. Sales are sales, yo.

3) I won't be able to control if it gets listed on Amazon, because that will be the publisher's decision.

4) My decision to stop using Amazon.com until they reverse their policy is personal. And I don't consider anyone who uses Amazon.com to be a "traitor" or anything. To each their own, you know. It skeeves me to see GLBT content censored, and skeeves me enough to quit using Amazon. If someone else is comfortable with it, that's fine. I don't think less of them.
