Voting…& Supporting Your Fav Authors

Voting &
Supporting Your Fav Authors

 


Today is election day in Mobile, Ala., and folks were out in droves at 7 am this morning to cast their ballots for this highly-contested race! Of course, I grabbed my sticker …. (wishing they could add some glitter or edge it in pink) and posed for this photo with my good friend and neighbor, Terry Edeker, who was on his way to the polls.

I’m eager for the outcome, and love the excitement of an election. It’s great to see support for all of the candidates…. and hey, it’s an occasion to show off my new favorite pair of shoes!

Voting is a choice, and it’s also a fabulous way to support your favorite author!!! I highly encourage all of you–if you’ve been moved by a novel, swooned at someone’s writing, or just have fallen in lust with a storyline…..show your support and leave a quick review on Amazon, BN.com, Kobo, or Goodreads.


An honest review is the greatest compliment you can pay an author, and it just takes a few moments of your time. If you’ve never left a review, it’s a simple process:


First, go to the Amazon (or BN.com/Kobo/Goodreads, etc.) page that features the book.

On Amazon, click on the highlighted area below “Average Customer Review” and next to the highlighted yellow stars. (Mine says 32 customer reviews) That will bring you to this page.

Here’s where you click the box “Create your own review.”  Then, go for it, in a few sentences or more. That’s it!  Easy peasy! BN.com, Kobo, and Goodreads all have similar formats.


I’m always looking for another great novel to read…and I’d love to hear whether you take time to do reviews, and the name of the last book you reviewed.



Happy Tuesday!


xx, Lauren
