Writerly Ways
I had some thoughts for today's writerly ways but they're gone as I'm having one of my strange episodes of complete no energy. So instead I'll relate an article I read recently talking about online reviews being more important than ever. Many of us cannot go into physical book stores. Maybe many of you haven't done that in years. So reviews are the only way we have of getting our stories out there.
It doesn't have to be pro-level reviews. Just a few lines is enough. Think about your own buying habits. Do you take a chance on a book with no reviews (if so that is great because someone new to this is going to be thankful you tried).
My paranormal romance novella Cassadaga Nights comes out tomorrow. The link there will take you to a snippet and buy links (and I do have some arcs to giveaway if you want one)
