Today I’m pleased to bring you an interview with Dave Dobson, author of Kenai. This interview is part of my stop on the blog tour organized by Escapist Book Co. Thank you for allowing me to participate, and thank you to Dave Dobson for answering my questions. Do you read reviews of your books? If so, how do you handle bad or good reviews? I always read reviews. Some authors say not to, but I can’t help myself. I think it’s a really important part of the writing process, actually. You have to know how your ideas, your characters, your stories are received if you want to get better. Good reviews are easy to handle – they make you feel ten feet tall and you walk around all day happy. Bad reviews can be a little rough depending on what they criticize and whether the criticisms have merit – the most […]

Today I’m pleased to bring you an interview with D. B. Rook, author of Callus & Crow. This interview is part of my stop on the blog tour organized by Escapist Book Co. Thank you for allowing me to participate, and thank you to D. B. Rook for answering my questions. Do you read reviews of your books? If so, how do you handle bad or good reviews? I can’t help myself, I do read all reviews, or at least I do at the moment as I’m so new to the community. I believe all reviews have benefits, even if they are simply there to toughen your skin! What I will say is that any poor reviews I have read so far have not been based on things I expected. I guess there’s a lesson in there somewhere about believing in yourself! What do you think is the most unethical practice […]

Today I’m pleased to bring you an interview with AJ Calvin, author of Exile. This interview is part of my stop on the blog tour organized by Escapist Book Co. Thank you for allowing me to participate, and thank you to AJ Calvin for answering my questions. Do you read reviews of your books? If so, how do you handle bad or good reviews? I do read reviews of my books because it’s hard for me to not know what people think about my work, good or bad. I love getting feedback, even if it’s sometimes painful. Unless I’m tagged by the reviewer in some way, I do not interact with them. Books, like any art form, are subjective and not everyone is going to like the end result. I feel reviewers are free to share their opinions, and commenting (or even liking) a review that someone has left without telling […]

Today I’m pleased to bring you an interview with Herman Steurenagel, author of Eclipse. This interview is part of my stop on the blog tour organized by Escapist Book Co. Thank you for allowing me to participate, and thank you to Herman Steurenagel for answering my questions. Do you read reviews of your books? If so, how do you handle bad or good reviews? Even though they say you’re not supposed to, I do read my reviews. Good reviews are always exciting to receive, and it’s great to know that someone else is enjoying my work. Negative reviews are only one person’s opinion of the story, and I appreciate that my books are not going to be to everyone’s taste. What is the best way you’ve found to market your books? A little bit of everything adds up. Honestly the best thing has been reaching out to book reviewers and influencers […]

Today I’m pleased to bring you an interview with M.T. Fontaine, author of Carved Amidst the Shadows. This interview is part of my stop on the blog tour organized by Escapist Book Co. Thank you for allowing me to participate, and thank you to M.T. Fontaine for answering my questions. Do you read reviews of your books? If so, how do you handle bad or good reviews? Yes, I can’t help myself. I read every single review despite knowing I shouldn’t. A critique always hits home, whether it’s good or bad. Of course, the good or great ones will give me a mental boost and add to my productivity over the days that follow. A bad one has the opposite effect. What is the best way you’ve found to market your books? The best way I’ve found is to incorporate the epic fantasy bookish community and get to know reviewers and […]
