Reviews: I’ve been banging on about these a bit, but they’re so important to every author. You see, you write your book, you love it, and after a lot of hard work, you put it out there. You hope your readers feel the same, but the only way you’ll know is if they leave a review. It’s also valuable information for others to see. It’s a fantastic way of connecting and a good review gives you a buzz. It’s a bit like buying that perfect Christmas gift for someone you care about…they open it and their happiness is overwhelming. Like a cuddly pooch, a review isn’t just for Christmas, it’s for life! So go on, give your favourite author their best Christmas gift ever!

On that note…Merry Christmas. And remember it’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice!
