I write a lot of fiction; short stories, novellas, and particularly novels. I’ve dabbled in horror, gothic mystery thrillers, dystopian science fiction, children’s adventures, and the odd love story. At various points, I’ve self-published and have been traditionally published by small independent houses. Suffice to say, being a full-time writer is a scary but exciting path. However, indie authors like yours truly really do rely on reviews to get those pesky algorithms to show our work to other potential readers.

All of which brings me to my plea: If you have read or enjoyed any of my novels or short story collections, please can I ask you to leave a review on Amazon, Goodreads, or any other site where you might have purchased it? It needn’t be long. One sentence is fine. “I enjoyed it” is fine. It doesn’t need to be an in-depth critical analysis (though by all means do so, if you feel inclined).

Reviews are vital to supporting authors, as I’ve already explained. I don’t ask this because I’m terribly insecure and crave constant affirmation (nice though that is). I ask because taking just a few seconds to leave a high star rating and single sentence really does help support struggling authors like yours truly (yes, you may get out the violins). If you enjoy my work, please consider it, as the more reviews there are, the more I am able to make a living at this.

For those of you who have and continue to leave reviews: Thank you so much. It is appreciated more than I can hope to convey.
