Same here. I honestly don't care who the author is, just if I can connect to their
writing.
I don't follow author news very much, unless it realtes to their next book coming out. I don't care about their personal histories. I may balk at supporting an author who's acting badly, but I hear about all that from non-bookish sources. I don't go looking for any information on them.
I think it'd be like following actors around all the time, and expecting them to be perfect people. You'll always find yourself dissapointed in someone. Sometimes very sadly so.
