Uh, huh. Then why did she send me a ranting note?

Can't help you there. I'd see the word 'serial' in conjunction with some variation of 'killer' or 'murder' and put the book back.

Because it was a tirade.
1. She said she bought "3rd World Products Book 1" after reading my freebie "An Encounter in Atlanta". That's two of my books.
2. Then she bought the rest of the 3rd World series. That's 13 more.
3. Then she bought my 5-book "In Service to a Goddess" series. That's 20, so far.
She said she skipped the Civil War "Cade's Quest" and bought my others, but then went back and got "CQ" after all.

Seeing no smiley faces in her note, I emailed back and asked if she was serious. She sent another, shorter but just as sharply worded tirade regarding fem/fem relationships in particular.
This makes me think she's a little nuts about that topic.
I'd rather not correspond with crackpots.
