I can't express to my readers how very important writing reviews for the books you love (or hate or anything in between) is for the author. It not only helps other readers to gauge how the book might be received, but it also helps the author gauge what the reader does and does not like. I have garnered so much feedback from well-thought out reviews, including the harsh and negative. So please, for the love of reading, write reviews!
I have currently given away approximately 54,000 copies of my book This Love's Not for Sale. It's an incredible and daunting number to think about and one which I am thankful for. I don't consider it lost income, because I have reached 54K readers that would otherwise not have heard of me. But, to that end, I have only received 50 new reviews on Amazon. 50!! They're slowly trickling in and I'm hoping that I will get more. So please, Please, PLEASE, read it and review it!
