First of all, I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to write honest reviews and post them to Amazon and other venues. Even if a review is only a sentence long it still provides value to readers and authors. Potential readers get an idea about the readability of the work and if the book might be worth trying. The author is able to garner a general idea of how well received their novel is by looking for patterns in the reviews. I check Amazon fairly often and the reviews for Marked in Mexico continue to trickle in. Of the 34 reviews and counting, 19 readers gave the novel a five-star rating, 12 a four-star rating and three a three-star rating. I’m absolutely thrilled with the five-star ratings and I’m very happy with the fours.   Most importantly, what these numbers tell me is that the majority of those who read and reviewed my book enjoyed the story. So, please keep reading and reviewing. With the millions of books available your opinion is more valuable than ever. ...

As we plunge into 2013 many of us have developed lists of resolutions, goals and dreams.   For me, resolutions are things to do such as lose weight, exercise, write more, etc., goals are targets to strive for and dreams are often a little more difficult to attain, but not necessarily out of reach. So for 2013 I resolve to spend more time with family and continue to support my fellow writers, my goal is to achieve more success with my next novel than I did with my last and my dream is to write a best-seller. They (which I’m never sure who “they” are) advise people to set realistic goals, but feel free to dream big and reach high. I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Year’s holiday and are still feeling optimistic for the coming year.
