The great review drought
I don't mean to complain...
thank you for reading.

:D
Anyway here's a long winded complaint to vent my frustrations. No one seems to review anymore. My sales have been steady (a bit dipped but up and down in general) and I know people are reading but no one is sharing their thoughts. Not here, Amazon, Kobo, B&N, Litsy, Booksprout, etc. It's as if people have simply stopped discussing books. I don't understand this. My stories get the same love/hate reactions as anything else and always seem to provoke people but no one has taken the time to so much as click a star rating.
That is horrible. Not only because it impacts sales but because it leaves me with no idea of what my audience likes or doesn't like. I know, I know, I shouldn't care and just write what I enjoy but I like to have a sense of who's buying, who's reading. As it stands I don't. I'm screaming into a void and sometimes a little pocket change is popping out but I'm getting nothing else back. I love my work and I love to discuss it but in the absence of even a superficial dialogue I just feel isolated.
