Claws looked good.
Yes. I get a percentage of every sale, whether as a kindle, or a hard copy.
You kept me up reading last night. That is a really good book. Do you have others? I’m only up to chapter 4 so far but I’m really liking it.
Thanks for these. Art directors struggle to portray something suggestive of the book without being too explicit. It really is an art to pick the right art.
The blurbs are hilarious. They somehow tell you more than you want to know at the same time that they exaggerate and embellish and distort what’s actually in the book.
There was an editor I used to know who insisted on writing her own blurbs for her books and refused to entrust them to the promotion department. She did mysteries, and managed to make you want desperately to read the book without revealing the tiniest fact about the plot. She was a genius at that. I never read jacket copy before the book itself. I can’t stand to know things before the author intended me to.
Thank you very much! Your words mean a lot to me. I hope you enjoy the rest of it. Please let me know when you finished it. I like constructive feedback.
Hey, thank you:)
I’d love to know if you like it. I found I liked her style, and it helped me do a little escaping from the political arena which is so frustrating.
Downloaded a sample. Liked what I read very much, so purchased the book. Like you, I like her style. Written with a sense of humor. Will report when I finish.
Just finished your book. Man that is a good book. Disruptive though. I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. That’s kind of the way I read though. A good book I read here and there, a not so good book once I put it down I never pick it back up and then one like yours once I start I can’t quit. After two low sleep nights because I stayed up too late reading I finished it this afternoon. Action packed doesn’t even begin to describe it. I liked it so much I left my first review on Amazon. Any freepers looking for a good book this is it.
I am glad you liked it, and the 5 out of 5 star rating you gave it. Again, thank you. I posted a vanity post on FR last summer and promised that would be the only time I would do that. I also chose a very bad time to do it and only got like 12 responses (and no sales). You have encouraged me to try and figure out how to market it again. Sure wish I knew how.
