REVIEW COPY REFUND OFFER...
- exclusively for my Hope FM radio show LISTENERS
WHY?
|
Why this offer? Well, firstly, it is because I'm kept so busy preparing my weekly radio show that I have little time to write books present. Resting on my laurels is all very well - so long as some people know I have those laurels! Most people in the local area know me more as a broadcaster than a writer these days.
Big publishers give away free reader-review copies to regular Amazon reader-reviewers. And they can take the hit when those readers don't bother to follow through. My books don't fall into that category and I - rather than the publisher - have to pay for them. I've follows the above route before and many people just take the book and don't bother to post a review. In one case I even had a review copy delivered to the London hotel of a 'keen' American visitor. Again, they were not bothered once they hand their hands on my book. So this offer ensures I only pay for reader reviewers who DO follow through - and allows me to cap the offer if need be.
Reader-reviewers are a Big Deal to authors, so I will be really grateful if you, as a listener to my radio show, do actually get to know me as a writer too! When you take a year or more to write a book, it's far more rewarding to get good feedback and know some people appreciate your work as opposed to the small amount I get as a royalty. Which is why LOYALTY has greater value than ROYALTY - in my book!

The Grave Concerns of Jennifer Lloyd
A fine melding of mystery thriller and contemporary fiction, but refreshingly free of the clichés of either. Jennifer was abandoned by her father at a young age and sexually assaulted in a children's home. But through these hard times she taught herself to appear feisty and self-assured. Yet beneath this veneer she is a just vulnerable girl. Focussed on her career, and wanting to put the world to rights, she is willing to take risks when exposing a murderer on television in order to enhance her fame as a fledgling TV presenter. Given her background, it is no wonder she is unwilling to trust men or to get deeply involved in any male relationship - although she feels this works against her own happiness. Jen needs YOU to be her friend and companion through these difficult times.
This twisty mystery thriller is set in Christchurch and Bournemouth. This website includes information about these locations. |
