Thank you Anna for your input. I was surprised to see no books in my profile. My intention was to try and put that right without spamming. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Are you into the reviewing thing? Or is that being cheeky. Gordon

Hello again, Gordon,
I'm not into review swapping nor responding to requests to review. I am a writer, not a reviewer and I only review books I genuinely want to read and have read. I have a lot of books in my queue already and I am looking forward to reading each one but I am a very slow reader.
You might like to read the rules of Goodreads. I see you are new and you may be breaking the rules of Goodreads to keep asking an individual. Your best way of enticing people to review your book, is to read theirs - choose ones you really like - and leave a review. That way people might be inclined to look at your profile and see who you are, and if your book is showing on your profile pages, they may be tempted to take a look and buy it, then possibly review it.
You can also join various review groups if you fancy reviewing books. Just go to 'Community' and search for groups with 'reviewing' in the title.
It's a slow process, Gordon, and I realize you'd like to hurry things along, but rules are rules!
All the very best to you and thank you for asking.
Anna

Thank you, Anna, for your kind words and friendship. I did write a lovely book, The Silver Flask. Would love for you to read and critique it. I am writing another that I'll call Golden Moments. Because I cannot afford the expense involved in tooting my horn and really don't want to, should I give up writing or just continue to write for the joy of it without any intent of going to the expense of publishing?

Anna Faversham:
Anna, I have never read any of your books but now I've seen what you write I will start reading one. I write seagoing books as I am a retired merchant navy captain, my book 'Steady as She Goes' is my first, and I've written an unusual crime thriller of nautical theme, 'The Atlas Murders' You might have a peep at them on Amazon and garner some ideas that might help you in your writing?

CONGRATULATIONS on both beginning a blog as well as staying committed to writing...as most of us know, life seems to get in the way of our dreams, but if we persevere, we can make them come true, right? I love to hear those stories! Sounds like you've had an interesting life and I'd love to read more about it. What are the titles of your books?
