Weird title, right? But a true statement.
Here’s the backstory. I read my reviews. Always have, always will. But I started to notice something on Amazon and Goodreads about two years ago. Every time I have a new book release, there’s always one 1-star rating. No review – just the 1-star.
Every single book. Every single time.
So I can only guess, surmise, muse, (KNOW!) this is either:
1. a fellow author who didn’t like a book review I did on one of their books and this is retaliation ( I really don’t want it to be this one)
2. someone who really just hates me as a writer ( okay, I get it. My books aren’t for everybody, but if you read one and give it a 1-star, why would you read another by the same author? I don’t. If I DNF a book, I never read that author again.
3. someone who really just hates me as a person living on this planet. ( this is probably the right answer.)
I can’t fathom why else someone would consistently – EVERY SINGLE TIME – give me a one star. NO review, so I really don’t even know why the reader hated it so much. This leads me to surmise they simply hate me.
Any suggestions on how I can find out who this person is or why they would hate me so much?
