Happy New Year
2014 was a big year for me, and I'm hoping you can help make 2015 even better.2014 included several enormous changes in my life. My first novel, Counting to D, was released in February and my second novel, The Evolution of Emily, came out in November.
To keep things hopping, I also adopted two children in August. Then I quit my day job, which means if I want to feed these children, I need to sell books.
This is where I need your help. Hopefully, you have already read and enjoyed at least one of my books. If you haven't read my second book yet, think about adding it to your to-read list.
The thing that would help me out the most is if you reviewed my books that you have already read and enjoyed. Currently, Counting to D has 27 reviews on Amazon and 111 reviews on Goodreads. The Evolution of Emily on the other hand, only has 6 reviews on Amazon and 14 reviews on Goodreads.
Reviews accomplish two things, they act as a form of endorsement for potential buyers trying to decide what to read next, and they also affect recommendation algorithms. Amazon has a very complicated algorithm to recommend titles to potential buyers.
The number of reviews a book has is one key component to this algorithm. These reviews don't have to be super long or eloquent. Simply posting a couple sentences saying that you have read and enjoyed a book will help ensure that the book will be recommended to other readers in the future.
2014 was a great year. I hope 2015 will be even better. In order for that to happen, I need more people to review both of my books, but especially The Evolution of Emily. So if you have already read it and loved it, please consider posting a review on Amazon or Goodreads.
