Book reviews are a great way for self-publishing authors to gain exposure. After all, how can someone buy your book if he or she doesn’t know it exists? Paired with other elements of your book promotion strategy, requesting reviews is a great way to get people talking about what you’ve written.
When we read good reviews, we definitely like to share them. It gives the author a few (permanent) moments of fame and allows us to let the community know about a great book. Here’s this week’s book review by Midwest Book Review:
The Beads of Lapis Lazuli
Doris Kenney Marcotte
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781432760540
The search for truth can drive people, even when that truth is thousands of years old. “The Beads of Lapis Lazuli” tells the story of Kathryn Marshall as her obsession with ancient Minoan civilization begins to try her life and marriage. Working with a psychic to find the bits and pieces of history that are lost, “The Beads of Lapis Lazuli” is a riveting mystery with a good human drama woven into the tale.
