A reader just told me that my book 'More to Love' is in their local library catalog. I'm going to cry. If you want to support me for free one of the best ways is to request me at your local library.

sometimes one novel is enough for me to trust them. other times, like w octavia butler, i will read as many novels as possible bcs i think they're intriguing.
How many works by an author do you think one needs to read to get a true “sense” of them (how much they like them, how good they are, etc)? Do you tend to follow your own advice on this?
