I'll trade you an ebook for a review!

Yes, it takes more than humor and charm, I need reviews. 

Happily, I'm selling pretty well. But because I don't know most of the people who buy my books, I can't track them down to twist arms or to plead for a review. 

In my world, reviews are a big deal. On Amazon for example, I'm nearly invisible to their algorithms until I get more than 25 reviews ... and 50 is better.

Once they know I'm really there, really being read, I am much closer to the front of the line when it comes to their higher-level reviews, "best of" book lists, and so forth. 

How you can help. 

Simply read one of my books and review it. If you're willing to do that, I'll send you a free ebook. Of course, give it any rating you want to, say anything you like in your review. 

And ... tell your friends!

To get your free ebook, reply to this column or message me on Facebook. I'll do the rest. 

If you like mystery, I'll send you the first of my Father Hardy mysteries. Here's the link: Indecent Exposure

(If you're reading this blog on Facebook, remember to click on the blog to get out of FB to get the links to work.)

Books for adventure readers 

Or how about reading an Alaska adventure?! I'll send you "Cheechako," also recommended for reluctant readers. Check it out at this link: Cheechako

"Cheechako" is a great tale to read aloud, not so much when you're traveling with strangers on an airplane. But when you're traveling with kids in your own car, it helps keep them from hurting each other.  

Whichever book you decide to read ... 

Thank you! For helping out.
