It’s sort of known that in the book blogging community, at one time or another you are going to have author drama.  You can be the nicest, sweetest, most agreeable person ever and an author is pretty much guaranteed to attack you for one perceived slight or another.  It’s unfortunately inevitable, particularly if you’re like me and accept books from self-published authors, who are disproportionately responsible for author drama.  You can read of my experience with one such person here.

What I want to know is this: Have you, as a book blogger ever experienced author drama?  What happened?  Or, if you’re an author that does book reviews, have you ever been attacked by a fellow author?  Or, somewhat worse, if you’re an author that doesn’t review books have you ever been attacked by another author for a different reason?

Don’t name names here if you’re not comfortable doing so but I’d appreciate it if everyone would share their experiences.  The majority of author-blogger interactions are perfectly fine and even friendly but sometimes bad eggs crop up.  It’s unfortunately part of reviewing books online and I in no way mean to insinuate that only authors initiate drama; plenty of book reviewers do the exact same thing.
