I suppose I should feel honored?

Well it seems that when you become a grand author such as myself, meaning that if your name shows up on the internet more than a few times, before long you MIGHT be asked to give a book endorsement. I must say that I've had a few ask already but so far only from authors who are writing for the targeted market of Christians that CBA (a trade association who charge publishers a fee to belong and writes exclusive "Christian" fiction) serves.

WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do these authors NOT read my blogs? Do they NOT read anything about me. Why would I ever endorse a book written for a targeted market I've NO interest in reading?????? Do you think I'm going to suddenly LIKE the agenda based, restrictive and awkward writing styles?

No! I won't! EVER!!!!!! I don't write for that market and while I see nothing wrong with creating stories for targeted markets, I DO see very much wrong with NOT sharing who your target market is and claiming a broad label to identify your work with thus making things so very confusing.

EGADS!!!!!

Do your homework!!!! My stories often have the label Christian attached to them because my stories boast a theme that appeals to CBA readers. That certainly doesn't mean I write the kind of fiction those publishers put out.

Furthermore, if you knew anything about me you'd know not to ask for an endorsement if you're writing for that targeted market. So maybe you're new to all this and don't know this about me. Fair enough. But a little googling will set you straight right away.

Really! I promise you it will.

I am NOT the one to ask for endorsements if you write for an affiliated publisher or a publisher who targets that CBA or ECPA audience. I can assure you of this!
