We Appreciate Your Reviews!



Reviews are very important to authors

Authors often don't have access to people who can give us real-world feedback on our work. Yes, we have editors and beta readers, but those people tend to get in the same groove we are in. Having a fresh perspective REALLY does help me as an author improve and grow in my craft.

I know it's difficult to take time to leave reviews, but trust me, when you do, it's never in vain. You truly do help your favorite authors when you do.

Thank you all SO MUCH for your reviews and interactions regarding my books!

DID YOU KNOW?

  1. Amazon uses reviews as part of their algorithm on whether to promote books or not.  The more reviews a book has, especially 3-star and above, the more likely Amazon will show the book on searches.  
  2. If a book has less than 25 reviews, many potential readers won't even bother to read the summary and will just skip it.
  3. Authors love the feedback (well, at least most feedback) and learn from what is mentioned in the reviews.
  4. If you use reviews to help you to choose books to read, be sure to click the link saying the review was helpful.  This helps move helpful reviews to the top of the list.
  5. In addition to Amazon, you can also leave reviews on GoodReads.com, Bookbub.com and other sites as well.


 I've included a link under each of my books in the catalogue below to make leaving reviews easier. You can also use the links to look over reviews that've been left for me.

Thank you!

The following are some of the top reviews from my recent releases:

Family Home: (5 Stars) 

Amazon Review

"I enjoyed this one more and more as I got deeper into it. I think the author captured something right about how for some people, the pain of a rejection in high school combined with other family issues can linger well into adulthood. Todd and Ash have some deep unresolved feelings that they've worked very hard to bury and in this book, when that becomes impossible we get to see them deal with those feelings. I also enjoyed the surprises with some other characters as well. The detailed work on the house provided a nice metaphor for the detailed work going on in the characters' emotional lives, almost like in the gothics I used to devour where the couple's relationship is reflected in changes in what starts as the old, creepy castle."

A Long Way Home:  (5 Stars) 

Amazon Review

"True to his writing, Blake Allwood gives a might strong story and tissues might be necessary. these two young men have known each other many years but sharing their very different backgrounds is their obstacle.
...
I can’t say my heart didn’t hurt through a good portion of his book. Gib was so entangled in his past hurt, I didn’t think he would be able to let go, as what had occurred was very difficult for anyone to face.. Allan was stunning in his love and patience….
I cannot say enough about this story….The author did a wonderful job….Oh did I say tissues a must!!! Oh and Book #2 in Series Family Home up for Pre Order"

Sapphire Water:  (5 stars) 

Amazon Review

"I just finished reading this book which is the last in this series. I enjoyed reading it as much as the first book. The author does a great job completing the series and trying up any lose ends. David lives his life trying to deny abilities as a witch. He enjoys his solitude and his job. Muir is a selfie on a mission looking for the one person that will save his people. The mission is very dangerous to him and if he fails, his people will die. Muir is attacked on the way and hides in a cave to heal. David finds him and uses his power to heal him. That creates a bond between the two men. Eventually Muir convinces David to help him and the two embark on the dangerous quest. David gets to meet his brothers and get some help with the curse he is facing. David and Muir must get two groups of sea people to work together even though they have been enemies for centuries. The two men must navigate through their feelings for each other in order to be successful and survive."

Milo and Clack: An Elvin Love Story

Part IX: Lost in Space

Clack

I felt something happen as we transitioned. I wasn’t quite sure what or when it happened, but one moment we were with my team, the next it was just me holding the new king drifting through space.

I couldn’t move, and apparently neither could he. A rainbow of light danced around us, and I could see time and space moving around us, almost as if we were in some strange wormhole as the humans called them.

I became aware then of the king’s smaller frame held tightly to my own. I could smell his scent. A mixture of coconut, and soap… the kind you could sometimes smell on humans who came up the mountain for their winter sports.

He was strong, stronger than he appeared at first glance. His arms holding me tightly, his body pressed tight enough that I could get a sense of his muscular form. That was surprising, I assumed he’d be a lackabout, like Atticon who let his guards wait on him, fully dependent on the powers he’d stolen from his brother and sister-in-law when he’d killed them.

We began to slow and eventually landed on a strange moonlike landscape. I knew we weren’t in space, that was beyond ever the Limbert stone’s ability, but I figured we must be in some sort of dimensional pocket. Not unlike what Laci described when saying she’d first seen him.

The moment we landed and had control of our own bodies again, the king pulled back. “I… I’m sorry I…”

I noticed then that he was blushing. I cocked an eyebrow at the man I was charged with saving, even if it meant losing my own life. The impact his blush had on me was instant. I was… no… I had to kick that out of my head immediately. The Kings Guard were several degrees below the royal family. We were considered Nobility, but only in the sense that we never married and never procreated.

We belonged soley to the king or queen, whichever it may be, to keep them safe. No Kings Guard were allowed to consort with a member of the royal family. Although that’d never been a rule I’d heard spoken, I knew instinctively that was the case.

“Are you okay, your highness?” I asked and he nodded but swallowed hard. “I… I’m not sure what’s going on. I keep being thrown around like a rag doll. Where are we?”

I bowed, as I should’ve already done, and then shook my head, “I’m not sure, someplace the Limbert stone felt you were safe, I’m sure.”

“Limbert stone?” he asked. “The girl, from before… she mentioned that as well.”

I sighed, “Your majesty, I’m sorry, I…” I stopped for a moment to think about what I knew about this man. Very little, if I’m honest. How to protect him, yes; what his life was like, what he’d been told about his heritage, almost nothing.

I looked back at the scared young elf… man…king in front of me. “I don’t know what you know or how much they’ve told you. Why don’t you start.  Tell me everything you know about being an elf.”

I hesitated a moment then added, “What you know about being an Elvin king.”
