I admit I'm not much of a Twitter user. At my most involved, I followed 250 people, so that's 20% in less than three years.Suzan Hardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600258874634909988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384027358660553150.post-45727466056322312632015-12-13T05:19:06.456-05:002015-12-13T05:19:06.456-05:00I've had that happen too. :/ At least nowada...I've had that happen too. :/ At least nowadays they can be found if they want to be. Back in the early-ish days of the internet, I lost a favorite writer (pretty much the only mystery writer I read) and found her again through a newsgroup; she'd gotten stomped by the ordering-to-the-net thing, and had to change the name she published under. I promptly started buying all her books again. Although I really liked her old series and wish she could've kept going with it. [sigh]<br /><br />Earlier than that, I discovered that a favorite historical romance writer, who'd vanished, was writing mainstream fantasies, by noticing that the copyright name on New Pseud's copyright page was Old Romance Name. Okay, well, good. No wonder I liked that book.<br /><br />And there is (was? haven't been to that site in ages) a Canadian used-romance bookstore that kept an index of various writers' pseuds, which was very helpful back in the 90s.<br /><br />Nowadays, at least if someone vanishes, we know it's because (assuming they didn't pass away or something) they wanted to vanish. :/<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.com
