I'm a Guy of Gisborne fan and a hopeless romantic. My favorite book is Jane Eyre. (Don't get me going on it. I might not stop) I'm a movie nerd. Heck, I'm just a nerd in general, but I'm not ashamed of it. Writing is my passion, but I also love gardening and the outdoors. I enjoy a quiet life in the country.

"The Tempest" was self-published in 2010, to more success than I expected, and it continued with "My Lady Gisborne" in 2011. The kindness and enthusiasm of fans has been a nice suprise for me, and I hope it continues when I publish "The Baron's Lady" later this year. I'll keep everyone updated, I promise.

Questions? Comments? Feel free to drop me a line!

Now you can think of this outpouring of support anytime some future troll tries to trash your story. Your followers far outweigh the detractors. They're not worth thinking about. (I know - easier said than some. Having your work blasted really hurts.)

I'd be very sorry to see you leave Wattpad. Your stories have captured so many people's imagination and it would be a crying shame if a small minority of users were to spoil it for the rest of us. That said, whatever you choose to do you have my full support xx

I think you should keep your stories on Wattpad because they will get a much wider number of readers that way.  Unfortunately there are some rotters out there who delight in tormenting others, and with the popularity of your stories you are bound to attract a few.  But they are the exception not the rule!  Don't let them scare you away.

As I've already said elsewhere: It's a pity that you feel you're driven away by trolls. Social media are fascinating but unfortunately the anonymity of it all makes some people behave in an unacceptable way. If the advice given further below about the "ignore button" does help, that would be great. If you feel stepping away will make you feel better - do it! As you can see many of your reader would regret it but I'm sure we all want to see you happy!!! xx

I love all of your works, and think they're delightful to read! Please know, that, no matter what decision you make, you'll always have the support of people that also adore your books! Stay strong! :)

The only response to hostile people is to ignore or just say "you are free not to read". I've never understood why people continue to read something that they abhor and then complain to the person who wrote it. It's like TV programs, if you don't like it change the channel.

I'm often overwhelmed by the love and support I receive from my fans, and yesterday was a wonderful example of that.  You all have given me a lot to think about, so I will be mulling over this whole Wattpad debacle over the weekend.

It's wonderful to know that I have such friends out there, some of which are quite willing to go the distance for me. Hopefully, it won't come down to a war of words on my behalf, but I'm pleased to know I have such dedicated people in my corner.

I'll make my ultimate decision soon.
 
Much love to all!


Yours,

Charlotte
