@bydonmartin: #stitch with @historythroughfiction authors needs author friends, and those author friends will tell you that Goodreads is not an author space. It is a reader space. If an author ventures into a reader space and pulls stuff like this, that’s an incredibly bad look. Some random reader’s 1 star review shouldn’t concern you. What did your editor say? What did your peers say? What did respected critics say? Listen to the right voice, not every voice.
