For some reason it sounds really weird when authors refer to themselves in the 3rd person while promoting their books, especially when they've already got a
thread going where they use the more natural 1st person and don't speak of themselves as a detached entity.
It's like there's some kind of associative identity disorder going on or an evil psychic twin periodically taking control of the body to do the typing.
Also, doesn't this belong in the Author Self-Promo forum, according to the
guidelines which it seems people don't really bother to read?
