It goes directly to whatever device you use. For me it's my iphone. It tells you that under buy now with one click. It's a gray button that says deliver to Lana's iphone or in your case your device. Does it say when you bring up my Amazon page where it will go? If you've never ordered a book on Amazon before it may ask you where to send it.

[Chele]

Yes, thanks. I've downloaded a few ebooks in the past. I have it on my laptop and my phone. Just curious if I put it one of those if I can transfer to the Kindle over the weekend when it arrives. I will wait to make sure. I know my husband was able to transfer his books when he got a new Kindle.

[Lana]

Chele:
That's fine. And no hurry on my account. I have two books before yours. I do look forward to reading yours. I like books like yours. Happy reading!

At some point in the last few months I noticed some posts either here or in another reviews group about certain reviewers posting scathing, vicious reviews. I do a lot of review swaps with other authors and finally it came back to bite me in the butt. This reviewer who is an author in my same genre, gave me my first two star review ever for a book that previously has only received five stars. Probably sounds like I'm crying in my cereal here, but I do have a point. The review did nothing to help me improve my writing. All it did was tear me down as a writer, as a person. I don't understand why someone would do something like that. Especially another author who knows what it's like to get bad reviews. However, I did a little research. Come to find out most of her reviews are one to two stars. Even Nora Roberts received a two on one of her books from this person. Geez! I don't feel so bad now. Sorry, I digress, but my point is, before you do a review with another author ask to see some of their other reviews so you know what you're getting into. Don't get me wrong. I don't think we should just give good reviews to get good reviews. Each book has to be reviewed honestly, but if you can't leave a four or a five, even a three, as an honest, moral reviewer you should give your comments to the author through a PM instead of posting them on Amazon and embarrassing the hell out of the author who worked and toiled to create that work. It's their baby and it doesn't matter how ugly you think that baby is. You should never tell it's mother let alone publicly embarrass them.

[Lana]

Sorry Stephen. Doesn't stuff like that just blow your mind?

I think it's just bad manners, If I don't like your book, I won't even bother writing a review on amazon, end of it. There's a lot of envy going on between fellow-authors, so watch out.

Connie wrote: "Lana wrote: "At some point in the last few months I noticed some posts either here or in another reviews group about certain reviewers posting scathing, vicious reviews. I do a lot of review swaps ..." Agreed. We are all on the same boat, hoping to be the next big breakout author or receive a movie deal. I wish all my fellow authors the best of luck!

[Chele]

I agree. we can all succeed if we work together.

[Lana]

Couldn't have said any of that better myself. We do need each others help. If it weren't for other authors critiquing my work, working with me to be a better writer and so many other things I would probably not be a writer today. I'm thankful to them and all my author friends.

Free Kindle give away on Amazon from November 28th. to December 2nd. of my latest western adventure.

West to Ranger Creek.

As Texas Ranger Captain Ridge Creek and his men survive a gunfight with Bob Lees Raiders in San Antonio, Texas, the lawlessness in the state since the end of the Civil War has become rampant. It is eighteen sixty-six during the Reconstruction Period and many soldiers mustered out of the Armies, both North and South only to return to burned-out homes and long gone families. Some turned to the trail West and Texan territory, bringing with them the hate and violence inherited from their four years of hell. Combined with the lack of military presence in Texas during these years of civil conflict the Comanche had gained a foothold and pushed the settlers back more than thirty miles as they continue their raiding parties unchecked across Texas and Mexico. With only the Texas Rangers to stand in their way. A historically factual novel with a peppering of famous Old West characters sprinkled in. Humor, tragedy, romance, bounty hunters, gunfighters and a strong dose of action make this third book of the Sundog Series a winner. Quite the Western Adventure.

Ash,
Great. I love a good old Western. Will get my copy.

[Valerie]

Hi, Chele. I'd be interested in doing a verified review swap. Your book, Behind Frenemy Lines sounds interesting. I'd like one for either Chameleon or The Reindeer Caper. Both are cosy mysteries. The Reindeer Caper is a Christmas mystery and shorter than Chameleon. Let me know if you would be interested. I could read yours now.

[Chele]

Hi Valerie,
Thanks, yes I could do a swap. Yours sound fun. I love Christmas themes.
Here's a link to mine:
Behind Frenemy Lines
I'm about halfway through Denise's "Time To Run" so I should get to it soon.

Thanks,
Chele

[Chele]

Thanks, Stephen,
I'll check it out. I don't write thrillers (yet), but would they review other genres?

Chele wrote: "Thanks, Stephen,

I've purchased your book and started reading.

[Tori]

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well:) My name is Tori and I published a book last month called, "Sour Grapes into Wine: How to Leave a Toxic Relationship to Create a Productive Lifestyle." I drew from my own personal experiences of unhealthy relationships and I talk about how you can get through them and create a new life. If you're interested in reading, I would like to swap a review. Thank you!

Chele, I've put my review on Goodreads, Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. Because I'm in Canada, 'Verified Purchase' shows up there and not on the US site.

Valerie,
I read The Reindeer Caper and posted reviews in all three places. Thanks for the swap. Were you interested in another? I have The Pearly Gates Phone Company and I'd like to read your first Dunbarton book. I had to crack up every time Chris made a big breakfast. I wondered if he did that every day or was it because he was home for a few days while they worked on the case.

I replied to your message but thought I'd reply here just in case you don't get the message.
It's a deal they have (and a running joke). Chris makes breakfast while Alicia feeds and turns out the horses. She's always hungry and the one time she decided they needed to eat light she was really disappointed that he did what she asked.
Sure, I'd be happy to do another swap.

[Valerie]

Chele, thanks so much for the lovely review. And thank you for putting it on .ca as well.

[Valerie]

Chele, I've purchased The Pearly Gates Phone Company.

[Chele]

Valerie wrote: "Chele, I've purchased The Pearly Gates Phone Company."

Thanks Valerie. I will get yours too. But I have two others to read as well. I think my upcoming school break is going to be filled with reading good books!

[Lana]

Chele:
I've reviewed you book, girl. Awesome job! How you coming on mine?

[Luke]

Hey guys, if you review swap do you buy each others book or do you have PDF review copies to give out?

[Chele]

Lana wrote: "Chele:

Lana, thanks so much! Did you buy my ebook? It never showed up in my sales but i think the KDP thing is messed up. Funny I was just trying to email you. I'm on page 53, but my semester work is done now and I will have plemty of time to read! Is there a way to email you not in goodreads? I wanted to ask you something about your book.

[Chele]

Luke wrote: "Hey guys, if you review swap do you buy each others book or do you have PDF review copies to give out?"

Luke, we buy it so it is legit and verified. We don;t want Amazon to pull it.

[Luke]

@Chele - ah right that makes sense! Thanks. Would like to do this, but unless it's a 99p Kindle book, I'm strapped at the mo!

[Chele]

mine are $2.99. on the lower end. Do you have kindle unlimited? it is "free" there.

[Luke]

What do you write? Genre etc

[Chele]

@Luke,
Romantic spy Behind Frenemy Lines
and I have an anecdotal light humor, spiritual collection of mini-miracles. The Pearly Gates Phone Company

Lana wrote: "Chele:

Hi Lana,
Thanks so much, but I don't see the review in either place. Does it take a while?

[Luke]

Do you post the reviews on Good reads and Amazon?

[Chele]

@luke,
Yes. And if the author is international, we put on each Amazon site.

[Kaylin]

Still interested in a review swap for Twisted Threads. Anyone interested?

[Luke]

Chele wrote: "@luke,

ok cool :) Might have to give this a go then! I quite like the sound of your Pearly Gates book.

My book is maybe a bit of a niche subject: 40 Days with the Fathers: A daily reading plan

[Chele]

@ Kaylin and Luke,
I'll swap if you want to.

[Chele]

Kaylin wrote: "Still interested in a review swap for Twisted Threads. Anyone interested?"

Kaylin, I'll swap with you if you want. I have a few books ahead of yours tho,

Sure, I'll get your Pearly Gates book :)

edit: I am just modifying my Kindle version though, the ToC was missing..

You mean between paperback or kindle version? Does it make much difference?

Nevermind, Luke, haha I just saw your link,

I do have a fiction short story, but that's from a while ago so not that one :)

This is my latest book: 40 Days with the Fathers: A daily reading plan
