John Maher asked C.P. Bialois:

Hi C.P. Can you advise on how to reach out for people to review my books without appearing self promotional?

C.P. Bialois HI John. It can be frustrating, and I'm still trying to work this out myself, but the best way I've found is to offer a book for free, set up a Goodreads and Facebook event, invite all my contacts, and ask if they wouldn't mind leaving an honest review. Hopefully, my books will make a strong enough impression that my readers will write a review, but it's hit or miss. If I ever figure out a sure-fire way to do this, I'll definitely let you know. :)
