You know my reading habits. I will follow an author into the very depths of, well you know. However due to certain circumstances my buying habits have had to change. I must be more selective in buying and I trust that publishers are also more selective for similar reasons. Given that, yes I tend to buy from authors I know and trust for a quality product much as I would rather buy other goods from a quality source. It now takes a recommendation from another for me to try something new. But I have an alternate source of reading material from an underused location called my public library. I think that more published stories would be great. I realize that not all stories can be published. I recall a novel that was first passed around at cons before a basement comics publisher took it on. I have bought four copies of that novel because people kept passing it on to others and there they went. I hope good stories will find their audience. I just wish I had more time and money to be that audience for so many more books.
