When an author is in love with a reader

Post by Venusian42 »

Question to fellow authors:

Have you ever fallen in love with one of your readers? :oops:
For me it just happened few months ago that I have dedicated her a book which I am about to publish soon.
But she still does not know it yet. 8)

Shall I tell her when the book is published, or should i just let her find out about it herself? :roll:

Latest Review: "Sammi" by W.D. County

I've never been in your situation but I would give her a copy as a present and let her find out that way when she reads it. Hopefully it will be a pleasant surprise and not any other variation it could be taken as.
When you're wrong, your really wrong. When you're right, you're a pain in my a$$.

Maybe you ought to ask. maybe the subject of your ardor would not care to have your book dedicated to her.

Quite an interesting scenario.....personally I'd love to have a book dedicated to me.....always wanted to see my (real) name in print or e-ink or whatever.....but it would be nice to be told in person by the author.....
