New Author Review Exchange discussion

Hi N.B., I have a supernatural suspense book where 4 friends go on an adventure to solve an ancient paranormal mystery. I'm uploading the re-edited version by this Sat.
I should have time to start reading again next week, in the meantime, we usually do 3-way reading exchanges since almighty Amazon frowns on author-to-author review exchanges as being inherently corruptible.
If you're interested we can try and get a 3rd author to join us.

Cheers,

David MacNamera

Let me ask around, I know a few authors on the site. Plus others read these threads and might drop in on their own.

I'll send out some feelers and let you know what I hear in a couple days.

Cheers,

David

N.B. wrote: "Deborah, I'd be happy to read yours! I like the genre, so I'd be a good fit. David, would you be willing to read mine? And are your novels back online?" I will read one of David's - whichever one he wants

Hey, hold on! I'm right here! :-)

Yes, Deborah, those are past editions, I'm about to post up a new edition of 7 Spirits, 4 Friends, which I can have up in a day or two.

I'd like to do the 3 way with Deborah and N.B. and my old buddy Clark there can just wait for the next round! Lol

Sure I'll read yours, and I'll have my new edition of 7 Spirits, 4 Friends posted by tonight or tomorrow. Of course, I could send Deborah a .pdf or Mobi file sooner if she wants.

If you have or mobi or pdf of your book those files both work for me, or are we going to purchase the books to read? That's fine too, let me know. :-)

Cheers,

David

Me too. I'll submit my new edition for publication by tomorrow and it should be approved by Mon or Tuesday, I'll let everyone know when it's live. I'm also doing a small Giveawy for it.

In the meantime, I'll jump right in and purchase your book and start tonight N.B.

Cheers,

David

3 ways aside - wink, wink - I will read your novel when it's up and running. It may take a few days before Amazon releases it.

N.B. wrote: "I’m willing to do purchases so they can be verified reviews if that’s ok with everyone else."
If you have UK Amazon will honour reviews as well, but purchasing is all right too.

N.B. wrote: "Awesome Deborah. I purchased your book and I’ve started reading. Shouldn’t take me long to finish, then I’ll have your review!" Thank you, I do appreciate your efforts.

Excellent! An international sale has more prestige! :-)

And N.B., I have your book and will start to read it this week.

It's great so far, admittedly I just had time to start it this morning, but I should have the book read and review posted by end of day Sunday.

Starts out with lots of "not dangerous" danger, plenty of foreshadowing, and a down-payment on the suspense to come. Looking forward to diving in!

David, how are you liking it?"

Thank you

N.B. wrote: "Hi Deborah,

I did post it, but Amazon can be slow to approve reviews. I'll let you know as soon as I get my approval email if you don't see it on your end first." Thank you, and could you please post it here, on Goodreads, as well.

Here's my review on Goodreads for The Devil's Trill:

I'll post the Amazon link once the review is approved by them.
