Reviews - Shadow Child

At the end of the day–actually, at the beginning and middle too–there's really only one thing that puts a book in a new reader's hands.

Word of mouth.

So what is word of mouth? Yes it's you–you there on the left, you at the back, all you you-s reading this–telling your friends about that new book you read, and what you thought about it. But as well as telling your friends? Well, there's telling your not-friends. Your enemies? Tell them about that book you read. If you hated it, tell them it was great–they might go read it and suffer with you 🙂. That'll show them who rules! If you loved it? Well, tell them anyway, because it shows you have better taste and better better-ness than them 🙂. But also?

Tell people you don't know. People you've never met, and likely never will meet. Because, yes–book reviews rule!

Book reviews are a great way of supporting an author–or even to offer honest less than positive thoughts. They can help the author grow as a writer, and help people find books they might like, even if you didn't. Or did 🙂. So I'd like to invite everybody here to leave book reviews. Where? Amazon is great, Goodreads is great, your web page is great (heh–but please tell me about them, so I can read them too). But no author, and no book, ever had 'too many' book reviews. So come on in–the reviewing water's fine! And just to show, here are some reviews SHADOW CHILD has had so far–some of them from Advance Reader copies, some of them from strangers, some of them from people who have read other books of mine. But none of them paid for or written by me 🙂:

AMAZON:

"A terrific read! Maya is a bit of a chip off the old block....but which block...mom or dad? While mom may have raised and trained her, is mom really who she appears to be. You'll just have to read it to find out! If you've read Graeme's other books, you'll know who Jack is and why he's so important to Maya! This story has more twists and turns than a mountain road with lots of surprises and laughs. One thing I've learned about Graeme's writing is you need to pay attention or you'll miss all the great detail. Shadow Child is very well written and leaves you looking forward to the next one. Very well done and I highly recommend it!"
