Self-promoting is essential if we wish our writing to be more than a hobby. Have a great weekend! :-)<br /><br />PK:<br />Thanks for tweeting this. We have to be innovative to succeed in self-pubbing.<br /><br />Siv:<br />I thought Valentine's Day was worldwide. Wow. Love needs a PR man in Europe! :-)<br /><br />I know all too well about going to bed exhausted. Victor is still in limbo because of my weariness these days!Roland D.

BTW, thank you :)<br /><br />I have promised you a review already, I just have to fit reading into my busy routine. You are still number one and I have your book on my kindle, sitting on my bedside, wish I was not always so tired by the time I hit the covers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04218651886143284455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-78910479973887340052013-02-14T14:44:04.892-06:002013-02-14T14:44:04.892-06:00This is very good encouragement.

In fact, I just spent my morning soliciting for reviews on Goodreads (in the appropriate groups and places for it, of course ;).

I still love your review there of THE BEAR WITH TWO SHADOWS.<br /><br />Jeremy:<br />Didn't Leonora Roy do a great cover image of Cassandra the Cursed? I have an 8 X 10 autographed photo of Scarlet should you win the draw.<br /><br />Hart:<br />It will take some time for 12 reviews to be written, so you have a bit of time. But you are a busy lady I know! Like you, I believe if you request the reviews to be honest and do not require the reviewer to buy the book, there is nothing wrong with requesting a review.<br /><br />Shelly:<br />Yes, and thank you so much for buying three of my books! I'm sending you THE THREE SPIRIT KNIGHT to give you a chance to win Mr. Depp's auto. A post on Victor Standish and my contests will put your name in for the Josh Groban autograph.<br /><br />I'm happy you liked my list and that it came when you needed it.Roland D.

I wish I had time to read, but I just can't say when that will be at this time, so I probably shouldn't commit. Definitely hope you get your reviews, though!Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-6188122359359707722013-02-14T05:47:57.319-06:002013-02-14T05:47:57.319-06:00I like what you do and the encouragements are out ...I like what you do and the encouragements are out of this world... bribery is the best kind of love... i still need to build my avengers collection ;) biggest wink I can send... that is a wonderful cover, at first glace...

If enough people ask me to stretch it out longer, I will.<br /><br />Just mention in one of your comments here or in an email to me that you posted a review or written a post about THREE SPIRIT KNIGHT and IN goes your name!<br /><br />If enough people enter by writing reviews, I might add an autographed photo of Ian Somerhalder from VAMPIRE DIARIES.Roland D.
