“You can kill a book quicker
by your silence
than by a bad review.”

My good friend, D.G. Hudson, has written a fine review of my short story collection, Silhouettes in the Key of Scream.

She bought the book on Amazon, but Amazon would not allow her to post the review
because she had not spent enough money on the site in the past year!
Have you ever heard of such a thing?!
Please visit her blog and read her review.
I fear her visitor tally will be lower because of doing a review instead of a regular post.
Also Midnight would like it since his picture is on her site, too!
A last word from one of our presidents:
“People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like. [in review of a book]”

Thanks for the plug, Roland. My post won't show up on some reading lists as I started it 5 wks ago and updated it rather than delete and start again. So it shows as posted 5 wks ago. Sorry for any confusion. . . Loved the collection, read it in small portions.
ReplyDeleteI am just glad you liked the book. I receive so few reviews that any attention is good attention. :-)
DeleteAmazon is crazy like that. At least they haven't ruined Goodreads yet.
ReplyDeleteI was also unable to post reviews on Amazon suddenly. It lasted for about six months. I called several times to inquire without a response other than a rote email. Finally, I am able to post again but they never did explain it!
ReplyDeleteI bought your short story collection and just started it early this morning. :) I'll pop over to D.G.'s site but I don't want to read spoilers :D
The above quote caught my attention, Roland. I have had several people tell me that Amazon wasn't letting them review my book as well (also a short story collection). I'm afraid the silence may kill it. Well, I just keep writing to maintain momentum.
Thanks for sharing. It is such a very amazing post. Great job you made in this post
