Mine may have come across as annoyed. Mostly disappointed. But in all honesty, other than Nate using "Ghetto" and me using "Scarlet Letter" the posts are accurate and not really inflammatory. I think overdrive pulled a fast one. As one commenter said in that same thread that I just linked to--they splash Author Solutions' Books on overdrive right there with self-published books and those two things are not the same category. There are also many ways to get on overdrive for self published authors that end up in the normal pool. So they make a statement by doing it that way and not a positive one.

I do work with my librarians--and not just on projects involving my own books!
