desperanceGood grief.
One of my friends from Book View Cafe tipped me off that some disgruntled moron had been inappropriately tagging my books on Amazon. So I went to see: and indeed, Dead of Light had been tagged with many variants of "gay erotica" and "male male". Which would be fine descriptions of other of my works, but not in fact this. So I frowned mightily at those, and moved on to check some other books - and I find that House of Doors has been tagged many times by numerous people, with categories that run like this: epic; fantasy; assassin; prophecy; twins; witches; gypsy; Kindle free book; magic; tt. Most of those would again apply to other books of mine, but to this one? I might kind of agree with one and a half, in the loosest possible sense. Really, I don't understand this. It's not like they're bad tags, this isn't sabotage (or if it is, it's wildly incompetent); just, no. This book is not about those things. Weird...
