Well I continue to struggle and travail (not sure if you can use that as a verb in English) with reviews and writing. One of my books is doing enormously well - 1375 (free) copies out since 1st April. We'll see if it continues to sell after it goes to 99 cents.
Regarding the Haunting - I have had 2 positive reviews on US Amazon. One looks like it's a put up because it's so good, but it wasn't. On Goodreads the ratings have been pretty ok 5stars, 4stars, 1 3 star. But on UK Amazon I got a 1 star (I think I mentioned this) and that gutted. Then yesterday I got a really awful 1 star. The book has now gone free even though it's not free anywhere else - because someone ratted on me that I had a free promotion on Smashwords. Idc about that. So this woman (I suspect it might be the same woman...) wrote a terribly horrible review. Given it's free she couldn't even say "don't waste your money" but resorted to "don't waste your time". The review is entitled Don't Bother! I don't think I deserve that.
This is a hard game to play. If anyone loves me I'd be grateful for a positive review on UK Amazon for the Haunting; that is if you feel you can. If you can't, just email me and break it to me how bad it really is.
Weirdly I look at the good reviews, am pleased, but they don't go in. I say "it's just because the people are nice" - I only believe the bad reviews, though I think the people are nasty! I wouldn't just trash someone. I've read some bad stuff, but I just leave it and move on.
Anyway, yous all have a great day.
Tony
