R. Leib's Blog: Dream State - Posts Tagged "review"

I got my first review on Amazon today. It was very complimentary and came with five stars. I hope that this will garner a little more attention for "The Negative's Tale". Even if it does not, it is encouraging to have my work recognized.

"Bounty Hunter" blends elements of fantasy and science fiction. This resulted in a novel that is a departure from both genres. The writing is good, the story is imaginative, and the plot is well paced. The characters are tightly drawn and interesting. It was a good read.

In a dystopian society where the state determines how its citizens will serve its "Life First" mandate, Kelsey finds herself divided between what she has always been told is her duty and what her conscience tells her is right. The true nightmare quality of this injustice is only a principle to her, until the full weight of this system is turned against her.

R.J. Crayton has crafted an intricately thought out and well written novel that makes it easy for the reader to root for its heroine. It is nicely paced and thoroughly engaging.

Bit'n Book Promoters is a nice group of people on Facebook and Twitter who are willing to promote your book in exchange for a like. I thought it was very little to ask for what they were offering, and they proved that to be true several times over. It does take a little patience. (These are hard working people just like you and me. I am embarrassed to admit that I got impatient, and wrote back to them. They were even nice about that.) When it was all said and done, I got a fine promotion of my book on their blog page and a lovely review. Their Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/BITNBOOKPROM....

I definitely recommend them.

I've been pretty sick the past couple of weeks. I went to see a specialist yesterday. The treatment the doctor prescribed seems to be working. So tonight I will get back to work. I think I'll start with reworking Inevitable Wound based on reader criticisms. I have learned a lot from reviews I received on Goodreads. I'm not happy that my work has defects (although all writing does to one extent or another), but I am happy that I get this opportunity to improve.
