Welcome to the super-secret VIP-only area of my website.
If you want to do a thing or two to help spread the word about my writing,
you've come to the right place!
AMAZON
Reviews make a HUGE difference to a writer, and when it comes to review sites, like it or not, Amazon is the 800 pound elephant-gorilla in the room. A quick, honest review here acts as huge social-proof and helps spread the word.
PRO TIP: Annoyingly, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk maintain separate lists of reviews. If you've posted on one of them, please do consider copying and pasting the same review to the other!
PRO PRO TIP: If you're going to buy the book, then do so before you post your review - then the review is listed as a 'Verified Purchase', which adds further social proof.
GOODREADS
The next-best place to post a review is on the site goodreads.com. If you're not familiar with it, it's kind of a 'Facebook' about books - a great way to access thousands of reviews, keep a note of your own book collections, and get recommendations. You'll have to create an account, but it's SUPER QUICK to do so.
TELL A FRIEND...!
If you enjoyed any of my books, then passing on a recommendation is LITERALLY the best thing you can do - I certainly know I've discovered a large percentage of great books by personal recommendation. Hopefully your friend will like it too... and then you can send them to this page (sssh, it's a secret!). And if they happen to be a major movie producer, so much the better :)
JOIN MY EMAIL LIST
You may not realise, but when someone buys one of my books on Amazon, I have no idea who or where. Which means I can't drop you a line to tell you, for example, that the next book in the series is coming out. Which you might want to know...!
NEVER FEAR, THERE IS A SOLUTION! Sign up to receive occasional email updates here, or get a free story here. Either way I will then drop you an email every now and then to tell you about new releases and special promotions (including signed copy giveaways).
You can, of course, unsubscribe at any time :)
