Why reviews matter to me

Reviews are always a double edged sword. I wait for them with fear and anticipation. Will the reader like the Wolf Creek? Will he or she hate it? Will it be a recommend or an avoid?

It's not that the reviews will change anything about the current book. I try not to let reviews steer my next project. The importance of reviews for me is in informing the next potential reader.

I look at the reviews when I am trying to decide whether or not to buy a book. The low reviews are as informative as the three stars. I tend to avoid the fives star reviews because they are generally by fans.

Once I've read and reviewed a book, I like to compare my review to others who had the same reaction.

Not every reader is going to like my book. I don't like every book I read. And Wolf Creek is not without it's flaws. But I'd rather someone trying to decide if Wolf Creek is right for them knows what he or she is getting into.

If you've read Wolf Creek, please consider posting a review. Even a sentence or two goes a long way toward tempting a potential reader.
