Keep buying books by #indieauthors ! Don't tell my wife. She might take my credit card away 🤭. Anyone want to share theirs in a #writerslift ? I'd like to buy another one or two to read. Great way to share your books with #Readers ! Have to support each other 😊

There are indie novels out there that are on par if not better than traditionally published novels. Yet no one knows about them, and many won't give the books a chance. It's a real shame. Buy more indie books, you might discover your new favorite author 💙

@AutumnK2022 I've given 1 stars. I'm sorry, but there are truly awful books out there. No one is entitled to 3 stars or more. Writing a book does not make it worth any star. Someone will give me 1 star reviews, too, and that's okay.

If you leave a review on my book, you leave whatever you felt it was worth. This is for other readers, not me. (As much as we authors do love reviews, lol). No author is entitled to only 3 ⭐️ or more. Think it was worth a 1? Then you give that. A 5? Great. It's your choice.
