Thanks Veronica!
BTW your website looks fun. Lovely covers. Have fun drilling down. It is an eye-opener and helps soooo much with marketing effectively.

It is - I am blown away by his kindness AND his reviewing. It takes real time and effort to produce a review like that.

Another one I'm very fond of is Jennifer Jackson's Indies Today review - amazing level of depth.

It is almost scary when reviewers do that.

I haven't snowballed yet. It may be partly because reading Purgatory is a many-hour commitment, and people hesitate to recommend very long books. Dunno.

Sometimes it seems that readers who are that definite about what they want to read are limiting themselves, but we're in the middle of a pandemic, and this really counts a comfort reading: no shocks, no surprises, nothing which makes the reader unhappy. It makes a lot of sense - and we're soon to be heading into a third year.

I've built in something different: as my beta reader will tell you, you get another level each time you read Purgatory, and I'm building that same degree of complexity into Netherworld. It's an incredible amount of work, especially for someone like me, but it is a commitment I've undertaken that gets around writing I can't do - fast and voluminous.

Now that Netherworld is coming, I expect a fair number of previous readers to do exactly that - re-read Purgatory first, and add to their interior world.

Just found Rose's review. Wow--this is fabulous. Kudos. And he knew exactly who to recommend your book to, based on what it offers the reader. Excellent example. Great review!

That's okay! One reader can turn into ten if she tells her like-minded friends about your books (Sorry to post this twice.I meant to reply to Alicia.)

Thanks Julia! It's been great hearing some of these other approaches.
