Creating Children and Young Adult Stories, Armed with Imagination and a Pen

Do You Like What You Are Reading?

Have you ever read a really good book or had your children respond really well to a children’s book?  Now, think back and try to remember if you let the author know how much you enjoyed their book.  I’m guilty of this too.  Too often it is easier for us to give negative feedback about something, but we are less likely to share positive feedback about a product or a service.  Since beginning my journey as an author I have become much more aware of this.  I’ve started to leave reviews on Amazon for quality books I’ve read when I had never thought of doing it before.

You have no idea the joy an author can experience from reading your positive review.  Even a bad review can have positive consequences.  If you are pointing out something that can make the writer better then the author can learn something in the process. 

So next time you are curled up with a book or you get great service somewhere leave your feedback if you can or spread the word to others about your experience.  Writers love to hear from their readers!

Results of the Author Expo

Yesterday I attended my first local author expo.  It was a good way to meet other authors and get my name out there.  The bonus was that I sold some autographed copies of my books so I was pleased with the result.  There wasn’t as much foot traffic as I would have liked, but it was a good forum for me to dip my toes into.  Now I won’t be so nervous if I do another expo or a bookstore signing.  The Nutt Family; An Acorny Adventure continues to slowly build on Amazon.  I had my first Amazon UK sale yesterday….wahoo!  I’ve got a British blogger who has agreed to review it so I will cross my fingers that she likes it.  Stay tuned here for some promotional giveaways that will be taking place at 4eyesbooks in the near future.

If you are interested in purchasing any of our children’s books please refer to the book pages on the right side of the website for more information.
