Believe me, book reviews are importantBooks need reviews and not just because good reviews boost the author's ego (which really does) but because reviews are an essential part of book marketing. Without reviews a book gets lost in the thousands of other books released every month. With lots of reviews the books can stay in the spotlight and readers can find them. Reviews on Amazon can be up-voted and down-voted by just clicking a button. At the bottom of all reviews, you will see “Was the review helpful to you?” and yes/no buttons. If you like a book, but you don’t want to write a review, then you can up-vote positive reviews that you agree with. This gives these reviews more presence and makes them “worth” more to the Amazon algorithm. Likewise, if someone has left a bad review on a book you like, you can down-vote that review so it doesn’t have as much of an impact. Would you like to help to keep my books in the spotlight?Click on my books below. If you like any of my books and buy-read-review them, it would be fantastic! If you're not interested in the genres I write, you can still help by upvoting the reviews you like. Thank you so much for your help!

Grammar mistakes and spelling errorsPointing out other people's grammar mistakes and spelling errors has turned into a favorite internet pastime. From blog posts to emails, news articles and tweets, if there's an error in there, someone's going to comment on it. Can you blame people to feel a certain sense of pride when they find a typo or spelling error? Honestly? It does make me feel good when I spot spelling errors or typos in famous, bestselling books. But here's the thing: grammatical errors don't necessarily mean the author of the post, article, or book didn't know better. I constantly make a mistake writing "taht" instead of "that" especially when I'm texting. The fact is that our brains are wired in a way that makes us all susceptible to grammar slip-ups. Just think about it for a second. Even the fiercest Grammar Police person and the bestest editor makes mistakes, I've seen it many time. Common grammatical errors such a "their" instead of "there" or "your" instead of "you're" and so on doesn't always happen because people don't know which word is correct (well, some people don't but most of us do). It happens because we focus on the content more than on the correct spelling of each and every word. Did this make you feel better? Good! Now spot the mistake in this GIF and comment on my post. Storybook for children 4-12A little girl teaches her family and her friends how to relate to someone who is hearing impaired.
