Just something wanna share...
Dear Readers
For every first time author, there's usually some level of uncertainty and insecurity about their books.
When I published my book Sacred through Amazon Kindle back in November 2011, I honestly wasn’t sure of its reception by readers! In fact, I didn’t think anyone would buy it & so I didn't even check my Sales Reports – until late January!
Imagine my surprise on seeing that hundreds of copies had been sold – and although until now, I’ve only got four reviews on Amazon, they’re ALL 5-star reviews (yay!).
I’ve posted these here so you can get a picture of what the book is like from some readers’ point of views (and also because I’m so proud of them!!):
1. I was cautious about purchasing the book due to the fact it only had one review. I was unexpectedly surprised at how good it was. This is the first book in a series, and I’m looking forward to reading more! – by Michelle Wyatt
2. I read a sample of this book and just had to finish it! It was a fantastic book that I couldn’t put down. This book had a lot of great twists and magic things to discover. The book ends with a good surprise/twist that leaves you wanting more, which is what a good book should do. I loved the romance, loved the paranormal, loved the guys, and loved the twists. Highly recommend to teenagers and older. Can’t wait for book 2! – by Sara G.
3. Normally whenever I buy book , I look how many reviews book got.. this book only had 3 three review but I was very curious to read book after three chapters I read on author’s blog.
I have to say it was nice and different story from the other books, I liked it a lot.loved all characters, and also loved the prologue mystry which seems to reveal at the end of the book
well I have to wait for second book to find out more. So my new resolution is ” buy the book and judge by yourself rather than waiting for more reviews ”
I enjoyed reading and will buy the next sequal as well.. – by Sky
4. This was one of the best books I read this year! Sasha is so funny and quirky, Ariston is HOT, Connor is the consummate bad boy & Ethan is so adorable!
Sacred is Sasha Stryker’s story, a high school girl, who falls in love with the new guy in town and her life changes drastically. And it Ariston Kavanagh’s story, who comes to a small town for another reason but falls in love instead. And it is the story of Connor Macho, whose determination to stay away from his childhood best friend crumbles when Ariston starts to court her.
Sasha, oblivious to the danger she in, is ecstatically in love until a lioness attacks her in the same park. And a white tiger saves her, in the nick of time. Her world starts to fall apart. From being targeted by an angry Were lioness to Ariston catching Connor kissing her, her perfect love story seems doomed. But her life had not seen the end of its share of catastrophes as dark creatures call Friaries try to kidnap her.
I won’t say more – you have to read it to find out what happens. Suffice to say it has many twists & turns and keeps you hooked till the end! Love love love it – recommend to all! Can’t wait to read the 2nd one – hope the author hurries up!!! – by Anna Hampton
It is always awesome to hear from readers, to see what they think about your work. To me personally, readers' reviews are really important; they boost my confidence & make me work even harder to complete my next book.
So that's all I wanted to share today.
Thanks for reading!
