I regret to read that your novels have received negative attention. I treasure them. I regretted coming to their end.
Do I have this correct? A group of parents have raised the issue with a local school board. They don’t want your books taught in their children's classes.
At this point, things haven’t spread to a larger venue. They haven’t involved libraries or bookstores yet.
I would hesitate, at this point, to use the word censorship. I recognize the dangers of the slipery slope. But, it does seem that the situation is well contained. I could also like nitpicking too much.
I deplore the fear filled or censorious mind that tut tuts at the smallest deviation from their version of the virtuous path. The Australian slang word wowser comes to mind.
I wish you the very best.
