I have an author profile up at Barnes & Noble to help sell my book, The Second Coming. Take a close look at this picture and tell me what’s wrong with my profile that Barnes & Noble decided that it shouldn’t be viewed by the public.

The text for my profile reads as follows: Indie author, adoptive father of 3 boys, manager of chaos, science and technology geek, person of the queer persuasion, and purveyor of sacrilege. I can be found online at: http://davidhburton.com I use this profile pretty much everywhere: Goodreads, Twitter, Smashwords, etc.

Which of the following do you think they have an issue with:
1. I’m an independent author (doubt that since they’ve just announced their new PubIt service)
2. I adopted 3 boys – doubt it
3. I manage my children’s chaos – doubt it and doubt they can do better
4. I’m a geek – highly dubious
5. my web site – doubt it
6. my book is sacrilegious – I figure they would pull the book, not my profile
7. I used the word ‘queer’ – DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! (or they don’t like that I’m openly gay)
I’m going to remove my link to Barnes & Noble and encourage readers with the Nook to purchase it at Smashwords instead until this is corrected.
