Ads on the blog

   Today, I came to visit  with you in my blog and found myself face to face (sort of) with  a scantily clad woman who was obviously drawn to attract a certain kind of audience.  I apologize for this.  The ads on my blog help cover costs and I have very little control over what is advertised and how it is portrayed.  I was told there would be nothing pornographic but to me this is close.  As many of you know, I personally am a very modest person.  I would never wear something like this and considering my stature, that should please most folks. ;>
   When I created my books and my characters, I did not want to portray the sort of image that the world would have us believe that all creatures of fantasy are less than honorable.  My elves, dwarves, giants and even my monsters are hard working men and women who love the land and the Gods.  In case you haven't read any of my books, each one is perfectly appropriate for children to read or be read to.  My books and therefore my blog are and should be family friendly. Had I had the choice of what ads would appear, it would never have been one that I would have to cover my teen age grandsons' eyes about.
   I know, lots of people could care less what advertisements say or look like. But seeing this advertisement for some game disguised as a need for breast reduction surgery associated with my blog was offensive.  So, with my rant at an end, I hope that the ads shown on this blog do not  cause anyone distress in the future.  If  you ever see an ad that is offensive, please leave a comment and let me know.  Thanks so much and happy reading.
