Rewind back a couple of months, back to my July 21 post on
how book reviews can form an important marketing tool for your books. If you remember, I said arranging a few reviews
is definitely a task worth doing. I
still stand by that. Well, I would, wouldn’t
I, since the first arranged review for
Chasing Pavements was posted today on
A Novel Review, and I couldn’t be
happier with it? I want to thank Charlotte the reviewer at this great book review blog for agreeing to read and review my book, and am delighted that she enjoyed it and wrote a lovely review for it.
Whether this leads to a bucket-load of sales or not, it has
definitely given me a sense of satisfaction. Authors write for their readers, and if their
stories are received well, then it goes a long way in boosting our morale,
inspires us further. What really moved
me were the lovely words Charlotte wrote in her e-mail a few days
earlier, when she informed me the review would be posted today. It
was truly amazing to read the e-mail, thank you Charlotte! Its messages
like these that make me glad I published Chasing Pavements.
Here’s the link to A
Novel Review’s review of Chasing Pavements: http://anovelreview.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/chasing-pavements-by-neha-yazmin.html?showComment=1347102794435#c480327772168877853
"This is not your typical
chic lit book. There is no sloppy romance and no mushy words. This
is truly a one of a kind book... Little by little the story was told to me and it was told
perfectly... I cannot believe this is Neha’s first book. It is perfect.
This is definitely a must read."
Chasing Pavements is available to purchase from Amazon Kindle Store US and UK, as well as Apple iBookStore US and UK, Barnes & Noble Nook Store, and other e-book retailers.
