The Innkeeper snippets are not the place to discuss current political topics, unless it is a direct interpretation of the narrative as it relates to one’s life. For example, if the narrative discusses religious tolerance and you have thoughts on it, please feel free to comment. If Helen is being bullied, and you would like to share a story of bullying, we absolutely welcome it, because it is connected to the narrative and addresses how the narrative makes you feel. If you are exhausted and sad and just want to vent, please comment. If you have something personal you want to share, please comment.
But if the narrative doesn’t discuss a particular political issue, and you bring it up just because it is a current hot topic, we ask you to refrain from doing so.
For many people Innkeeper site is an escape and a place of support. It’s almost like a book club, a place that’s relatively safe from reality. It is refreshing how few fights we have to moderate, because everyone is united by the same need: to take a break from daily stress and breathe. We are bombarded by political news all day long, and sometimes we all need a little bit of honest support from other human beings without knowing where they stand politically.
If you would like to discuss politics that are off topic to the content of daily snippets, there are many other forums available to you. 🙂
Thank you!
A joke I made up –
Me: I love this company. Most people don’t even realize they supply us with free marital aids.
Fellow employee: What’s that?
Me: Ear plugs.
I read The Innkeeper for the amazing world that is created and the respite that it gives me from what is happening in the “real” world. The comments that follow are amazing and wonderful and a great indication that you have tapped into the need for people to escape, even for just a little while, from the chaos on this beautiful but sometimes frightening planet.
And it is FREE! Enjoy and please, as our authors have requested (politely, I might add, let us all enjoy.
Thank you
I need that on a t-shirt….
Agreed! I love to come here to escape! I wish I could work such written magic in my day to day, but I am happy to enjoy and look forward to escaping nearly every week! In a current world of near instant gratification, it’s nice to slow down and simply anticipate. Current politics has no place in the Innkeeper world. You do you, and I will enjoy that which is you! Muchas gracias, und grüß Gott!
I guess I don’t read enough of other folks posts to understand the reminder but then again why post your political views? This is a blog about AWESOME books, LOVEABLE characters and fantastic stories. I am humbly grateful that you share stories on your blog. Thank you.
Omg, I love you, I love your books, each and everyone is absolutely my escape from the real world!! I have come to the point where I simply do not watch news anymore, it’s too depressing! Gives me more time to read?
thank you- PERFECTLY stated.
I LOVE this world you have created, this series is becoming my favorite!! I hope there are more books in the future.
have a great weekend.
I read fantasy to escape. Thank you Ilona Andrews
I’m another who is thankful for the absence of politics and flames here. Also for the chance to share something in common with folks from across the spectrum of beliefs and across the world.
Thanks AuthorLords for creating this environment for the BDH, and of course for your amazing writing! [no Applecorrupt I did NOT mean amazing wrestling!! Wha??].
BDH? Does that stand for Book Devouring Horde?
Yes it does!
Ha! Right on the first guess. Thank you.
Hello! Thank you for this information, although I am too busy enjoying your website to worry about politics on this site!! However…..
I do have a totally unrelated question. I NEED to make sure that I have not made a gigantic error regarding the Innskeeper!
To verify – this book will eventually be made available in both eBook and print, I hope?? I have been reading one line from each installment, mainly because I can’t help myself, but then I started worrying….what if this is not going to be available to actually PURCHASE?
Any information would be very welcome, as I have paper copies, eBooks, and the Collector’s Edition of the first Innskeeper books. I need to make sure that I am on the right track to continue this wonderfully excellent story!!
Thank you!
Yes, it will be revised, edited, and offered for sale.
Your pic should have sparkles instead of horns when your giving epic information 🙂
Will all the Innkeeper books ever be offered on Google Play Books or Amazon Canada?
I’m so glad you verified this – I’ve both ASD and OCD, I cannot do serialisations, so I’ve been patiently and carefully avoiding reading.
I always look forward to my Saturday mornings when I can read Maud’s novella snippets and drink my coffee and unwind from the week. 🙂 thank you Mr and Mrs Gordon
Thank you for saving us
