Thank you. Lori Hettler! (Reader appreciation day 8)

Today's thank you goes out to Lori Hettler! I met Lori almost two years ago when she approached me through goodreads.com and asked if she could review Post-Human (that seems like ancient history now, when bloggers approached writers and asked them about reviews; now it is the other way around!) She wanted to review Post-Human for her blog for The Next Best Book Club, which is a huge club, and her blog seems to have been growing exponentially. The exposure was much appreciated, so when she asked me for a paper copy (she still preferred to read paper editions if possible) I happily obliged. Her review was kind, all went well, but when I approached her just a few days ago about getting Trans-Human or The God Killers reviewed, I got the answer that I was expecting -- Lori was swamped! Book bloggers are now highly, highly in demand because they drive sales. As books go electric, readers are more and more depending on bloggers to review books so that they know, not only what is out there, but what is good. Lori has been huge for independent and small publisher writers and has been in their corner from the very beginning. Who knows how much help she has been to how many writers out there? Too many to count. Despite being too busy to review my latest books, she was still happy to provide me with the spotlight and asked me to write a guest blog where I detailed why I had decided to republish my books on the Kindle at my own price point. Even when she's too busy, she's still able to somehow help. Lori, thank you so much for being there supporting small authors, for reading my book, and for continuing to help me out! You. Rock.
