…Authors… a reader’s review is a ‘gift’, not an ‘entitlement’…
I’ve just published my first novel and am making the rounds looking for book blogs to help get the word out. I appreciate every review. It’s fun to get a pat on the back. But even a bad review is good. It tells me where I need to improve. I can improve unless I know what’s wrong.

…an honest review is as gold dust to any writer… and I care not if the scribbler is a newbie, self-publishing indie… or a decades-established leading name for a major publishing firm… each and every time any reader takes the patience and trouble to offer his/her opinion on yer literary labours, it’s another one of an Author’s ‘golden moments’… an acknowledgement yer WURK is recognised… and let me affirm to yeez, it truly matters not whether the rating is 1-star, all the way to 5-stars, if it’s honest, it’s a learning mark for yeez… accept them all… usually with more than just a pinch of salt if they swing too much to the dark side or praise yeez to the high heavens… and as a wee aside, it’s worth bearing in mind not everybody on the planet is gonna LUV yer wee masterpiece with quite the same intensity…
