... Where do I leave the review?
Amazon & Goodreads. Amazon is the biggie. And don't worry, on release day, I'll send you an email with links of where to go leave your review. I'll make it easy for you. You MUST mention in your review that you got the book for free, and that you VOLUNTARILY left a review. Amazon requires a statement along these lines, or they might remove the review, because they can be jerks. Don't say that you left the review "in exchange" for getting a free book.
...Why are you doing this?
Because reviews are the lifeblood of an author, even more so than sales. Reviews provide "social proof" for prospective buyers, and without them, a book will not get visibility in the first place. Also, you must be a current member of my mailing list. If you unsubscribe, no more free books for you.
...Do I have to leave you a five star review?
Only if you think it deserves five stars. You can leave me an honest review. But I'll say this about 5* reviews: if you don't like fast-paced crime or dystopian thrillers full of violence, profanity, and possibly a little bit of tame sex (nothing X-rated), then my books are not for you. If you hated the last Jim Heskett book, why waste your time by reading the next one?
...What's up with the guilt trip about your kid's college fund?
I'm just trying to make ends meet. My books are inexpensive (you can buy three or four of my books for the same price as one Jack Reacher novel), and I think they're just as entertaining as Lee Child's. So each book I give away costs me a sale. I'm totally willing to do that, but if you don't think you can hold up your end of the bargain, please don't take advantage. Symbiosis, ya get it?
... What if I don't have an Amazon reviewer profile or know how to find it?
You can enter your Goodreads profile. But, I strongly prefer reviews on Amazon to Goodreads. Go to your Amazon reviews, copy the URL in your address bar, and then paste it. Here's a tutorial:
