A review of sorts. ;)

I've found that most won't post reviews as they they think they don't know how to write one or they don't think what they have to say constitutes a review but when an author isn't privy to the mass marketing funds bigger publishers can provide, every little bit of attention helps. Well, at least every bit of the positive attention. It still won't do anything to impact the market as a whole but it sure makes me feel darn good and feeling good keeps me writing. ;)

From a reviewer of Never Ceese and a soon to be interviewer of Sue Dent.

I continue to get great feedback from your books. Lent them to my mom, sister, and nieces and you've got a nice following in my family. :) Although, like many of your readers, my mom is rather annoyed that she has to wait for Cyn No More. I confess, I'm putting off reading Forever Richard as long as I can stand too because I hate to wait for the next book!

Inspiring words indeed but let's calculate something very important here. I sent this reviewer both books in exchange for a review and possible interview (I got both. :)) She lent the books out to her family to read an enjoy. Not a big deal really, however, if you add that all up the total profit from sales, which is what keeps a writer writing, negative something. I've stopped counting. It's too depressing. I hope I can get Cyn No More finished up soon but honestly, I'm in no rush to lose more money than I have. I am working on it though. Steadily working on it.
