A simple plea
Not a blog entry from me today I'm afraid, not that there's been one for a while unfortunately. Just a simple plea to any who stumble across my little musings and wonderings here - please visit Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk and buy the Secret of the Nexus by me, C.P.Moore. Not so much for the individual sales (though my aim is of course to have many as proof that my writing is enjoyed and that I'm entertaining people on the look out for a good adventure), but to hopefully generate more reviews that don't hang on the fact that I'm not the humorist author Christopher Moore and that therefore no, my thriller/adventure is not intended to be funny so don't claim disappointment when you find it instead to be a riveting ride of action, history, and intrigue.
On the US site it is currently at 3.5 stars, and the rank is slowly dipping. People are not able to see it when they filter their e-book search results, and it appears to be solely due to two people who have reviewed in the negative because they incorrectly downloaded a different author and genre to the one they were expecting. I need at least two more 4 star reviews to counteract the few nay sayers - you would be amazed how much damage to little low ratings can do, and how much wind they can know out of the 4 star reviews that were flying my flag high.
I know this work can do better, and I know it has been popular among those who have read it - but the praise and critique has to go down on screen as reviews to do anything to help me and my story.
So please - buy it, read it, and review it. Don't remain one of the many customers of fiction out there who care little for spreading the word about something they've enjoyed.
Thank you.
