Welcome to 2025!

As a kid, I couldn't fathom the idea of living in the year 2000, yet here we are 25 years beyond that! My young brain could not imagine that far ahead. After all, I was going to be so old by 2000. (Not really, but you know how kids think.) Now, I really might be that kind of old, but I sure don't feel it. It's all about our mindset, right? Where is my mindset? Looking forward to this year's events, book releases, and catching up with all of you somewhere in person or online. So far, my schedule includes: SC Comicon in Greenville, SC, April 5-6 Atomacon in N. Charleston, SC, May 3-4 Imaginarium in Louisville, KY, July 18-20 I've applied to several other events and am waiting for confirmation. To stay up-to-date on events and upcoming new releases, consider subscribing to the  Watchers Tribe Newsletter .

Highly recommend . --Internet Reviewer ON SALE NOW on Amazon

Reviews: The No Cost Treasure Authors Seek

Image
If you follow any authors on social media, then you've probably seen requests for reviews. Many people hesitate to post a review because they're not sure what to say, so I'm going to provide some tips. Why authors seek reviews 1. Over 90% of people shopping on any book site will read the reviews before purchasing a book. 2. Amazon tends to promote books with 50+ reviews. 3. Books without or with very few reviews don't show up in searches. In other words, if you enjoy an author's books and want to encourage other people to buy the books, then reviews make that more possible. Reviews help the author become more visible. And for me, the problem is a bit more complex. When I republished the books in 2023, Amazon migrated the reviews from the first edition to the second edition for The Watchers of Moniah . They did NOT migrate the reviews for The Watchers in Exile or The Watchers at War , so it looks like no one is reading those books. I requested they be transferred, b...
