Simple, really. I’ll be 75 this year, and chances are pretty good that within the next 5 or so years, I’ll be dead or demented. Hey, just being realistic here! No need to feel squeamish about it. Why spend my precious time tilting at windmills?
The thing is, writing is a joy and a life-affirming activity, even when the subject matter gets a bit grim – another consequence of aging: the blinders are off.
I’d simply rather write than market what I write.
But, if it’s free and I don’t have to spend much time doing it? I’m good with that. So here’s what I’d like you to do:
If you’ve read one of my books, and you like it, please visit your vendor’s website and leave a review. Doesn’t have to be much, as long as it’s positive. If you hated the book, you can keep that mother to yourself. No, just kidding, you can hate it too as long as how you express that falls within the site’s guidelines.
Here’s what Kindle says:
“To submit a review, customers can find the book in Your Orders or go to the reviews section of the book page and select Write a product review. After they submit a review, Amazon Community team will check if it meets the Community Guidelines.
Customer reviews appear in Amazon Author Central 24–48 hours after they’re entered. This gives us a chance to check that the reviews meet the Community Guidelines“
