As an author, you hope your book reaches a wide audience, appealing to a diverse group of readers who like your book enough to recommend it to friends. Word of mouth advertising is the most cost effective and successful marketing tool we have.
When a reader is so moved by your novel (either they loved it or despised it), they often post a book review. This can be a joyous moment for a writer, or one that results in head-to-toe chills.
Recently, I received a totally unexpected and thoroughly delightful review from Terry Doherty, of The Reading Tub.
Doherty picked up,
Spaghetti is NOT a Finger Food, at Book Expo America and this is a snippet of what she had to say:
"In a word: superb! By letting Connor tell the story, readers can walk in his shoes and see the world as he does. The author captures a young boy's voice perfectly. Every child knows what interrupting is - and how hard it is to be patient. All of us know what its like to want something NOW and then just grab for it. The story has a happy ending, as it should."
Of course I Happy Danced around the house after reading this
to the tune of Katy Perry's, ROAR.
(It seemed fitting.)
