I am sure everyone who reads gay romances is aware of the situation with Riptide Publishing so I will not rehash it here. Several authors have chosen to sever their relationship with the publisher while others have decided to stay the course for now.
For now, I am honoring my commitments to the blog tours I agreed to host before this situation arose. At this point, my last scheduled tour with them is April 12th.
Keeping my scheduled dates is NOT a decision I take lightly nor should it be construed as ignoring the very real problems that exist within the publisher. I am hopeful Riptide will be able to fix the issues that have lead to this crisis. However, at this time, I am not signing up for any other tours with them until they have fixed the problems that have created a toxic environment for authors and to some extent, readers.
Thank you for your understanding.
Thank you for letting us know about your already scheduled blog tours, that you are aware of the situation regarding those at the top of Riptide Publishing.
I wanted to support the authors who are staying with them, but I cannot allow my sympathy for the authors give tacit approval for their behavior. But I do feel like I should honor my prior commitments.
