“Reviews help authors more than you probably imagine, and for independent authors, they are everything. It would mean an awful lot to me if you could leave a brief review - a sentence or two is perfect! - on Amazon. Review on Amazon US Review on Amazon UK I love finding out what readers thought of my books - good or bad - and I make sure I read all the reviews.”
