Uh... no.
I like great writers, and I like certain genres. I'm happy when I find a great writer writing what I want to read.
But I'm not following them into other territories unless I do a lot of research to see if they'll possible do it for me in another genre. Because many of them don't. What they were good at in one area doesn't say that they'll be good in another. They have to earn that trust in the new genre.
I don't just trust any actors, musicians, artists, or even bands, either. They can be great at one thing, and stink in another. Lesson learned early on that.
