Reviews
I've had some great reviews coming in for Venom of the Gods. Each review is humbling, motivating, and precious. Thank you so much to those fans who took the time to write them.
From Barnes & Noble: "Great - Action excitement and a working plot. A huge twist on the vampire/superhero shades of will smith in hitchcock [sic: Hancock?]. Also the humor was modern and edgy. Great blend of religion, politics,family drama, romance and incredible plot twist. Not predictable at all. Can't wait to read more from this author."
From Amazon: "Great adventure and twist on the vampire lore - Very good book. I liked the characters and the twist on the vampire lore I won't get into specifics since I hate when people put spoilers in their reviews. I would definitely recommend this to others."
And from Smashwords, a simple review that goes straight to the heart of the most important thing about a book: "I enjoyed reading this story." At the end of the day, that is what makes a book good.
To these fans and others, thank you.
On a side note, I have read some terrible books that had a lot of fantastic reviews. How this could be is a mystery, but I want to promise my readers that all of my reviews are unsolicited. I even ask my initial test subjects (family, friends, students of a high school theater department) to not leave reviews since they know me (my mesmerizing charm, exceedingly good looks, and admirable humble nature will obviously bias their opinions in a positive manner). To me, posting biased positive reviews rips off the reader of both time and money—not a good way to manage a career.
