Why is Your Review so Important to Me?
Trying to market a book using traditional channels - PR, TV,

radio, print ads - is prohibitively expensive for a self-published author. Though I haven't decided how to publish just yet, even at a traditional publisher, only a handful of authors benefit from an adequate marketing campaign.
Meanwhile, only if I can sell enough copies of this book can I continue to write full-time. And I've got even more ambitious plans, including finishing a trilogy of historical novels (loosely, on religion) that I've researched and worked on for about seven years.
What makes all that possible?
- Your positive (4- and 5-star) reviews (you can submit yours below)
- On Amazon (in particular, but others matter too)
- Having bought or reviewed similar books
Leave your review below, even just a draft of it. Before the launch, I'll send your review to you and ask if you would still like to post it on Amazon. You can say no. You can resort to extortion. You can also change the review.
