Hi all--I need to ask a favor. If you read The Lion and the Fox, especially if you are a verified purchaser on Amazon, could you write a review on Amazon? I need one more review to qualify for a promo site. The book is going on sale next week for $0.99 and I'd love to get an ad on this site, but I need one more review!
Tell me what to say I read it awhile ago. I'll go back and read the description and see if that triggers specifics I can provide. Or is "highly enjoyable, history brought to life" good enough? I wish I were the type to leave reviews, but I never do.
Also...I totally feel self-conscious writing a review for a book where I know the author. I've got the two of yours I've read and one of another friend, and every time I write a review - even though it's totally positive - I feel so weird. Like it's a quiz. But a quiz where I might hurt your feelings. Like, "well that's not what I was going for!!!"
but I figure I'm a crazy person and more reviews can only help, so I do it.

I've heard that the best reviews make it clear that you actually read the book--since so many people write fake reviews! I try to mention a character or scene (without spoiling anything!) or something about the theme. But really, any review is good, especially for independent authors who are trying to get noticed!

I know what you mean! But you can rest assured that I have no idea which review anyone wrote. And reviews are absolutely helpful!
