Writers Online: If You Don’t Like The Author, Will You Buy Their Books?

I recall a while ago, somebody asked this question, and at the time I foolishly believed that an author’s online personality would never deter me from buying their books.

Well, I was ridiculously naïve. And wrong.

While I wont necessarily buy the books of authors who’s online personalities I like, I can unequivocally say that an author who comes across as hard-faced, bitchy, and fake, will not be getting any of my hard-earned pennies. Not a f*cking red cent.

Why do I ask this question? Because I’m currently reviewing my spending habits on a certain author’s books.

Read: Will not be buying his/her books ever again. Ever.

UPDATE:
Anne has an interesting rant on the subject!
