I got burned on LKH so I do not know anything about any other author on purpose. I was tempted on a couple, but if I check out their website it is only to see if there are any new books coming out or for freebie shorts. That is it - no more forums or other social media. I don't want their personality, even if they are a great and fascinating person, to overshadow the books.

I think there is a saying - never meet your heroes. Maybe someone here knows the real quote.
