This is not the book I am offering FREE for reviews
but mine is the same shape
I HAVE had a few modest sales of my Old-Child (OC) anthology Naughty Nineties Volume 1 and now I need some reviews.
As I write this, I see where
Veronica Roth has garnered 9595 reviews for her Hunger Games knock-off Divergent. That number 9595 is obviously the
bench mark so I am aiming for 7 reviews.
Read on to see how you can be one of
the magnificent seven.
TOMORROW,
February 14, is International Book Giving Day and there you thought it was St
Val’s Day.
Book Giving Day is dedicated to putting new and used
books into the hands of as many of the world’s children as possible.
A comprehensive run-down
on it, so I do have to re-invent the wheel, or the bookmark is HERE
I am all for Book
Giving Day but we need to expand the age criteria of the beneficiaries. I want
out kids to read more but one of the best ways to achieve that is for adults to
lead by example. If a child sees an adult they admire engaged in the pursuit of
reading, they will be inspired to follow the leader.
So let’s all volunteer to give one book away tomorrow to either
a child or an adult. You over-achievers out there are allowed to give more than
one book because you are going to do it anyway.
I am giving a inscribed copy of my novel Iraqi Icicle to a colleague who finishes up a six-week contract on
Friday. In the topsy-turvy world of modern journalism, six weeks of paid work
is better than nothing. But it does not provide much security for a single mum.
She might enjoy my comic neo-noir thriller and will doubtless
appreciate the gift.
Romance authors and their readers must already be inspired.
Inscribe you book gift and it doubles as a greeting card. Insert a red rose in the
middle pages; put a box of chocolates underneath and you have the best Val’s
Day pressie ever.
Please make a comment if you are on board with the plan and
share what you have in mind.
