Personally, I find the concept of banning books horrible.
I don't know that I agree with this? And this comes from an author.

I mean let's face it, there is a LOT of crap out there. I really don't have a problem with banning books. Though I do have a problem with banning them for the wrong reason, which it seems all of them are....

I am hopeful none of my stuff will ever be banned.

On the other hand, what better publicity could there be?

EDIT: Upon reflection, maybe it is not so much a matter of book banning that I am in favor of, but more a matter of certain books just not being published. Unfortunately, I would have to put one of mine on that list. But that's okay, because the other one made it onto Oprah.

I have had one successful book and one book that was an absolute failure.

And I have learned much from both.
