It took me awhile, but I do frequent Twitter.  Sometimes it’s still a challenge to write something in 140 characters, because, after all, I am an author.  To limit the number of words forces me to be Nathanial Hawthorne every time I write.  His skill at never wasting a word still amazes me.

Oops, I digress.

It took me awhile to do the Facebook thing too, but I don’t regret it now.  Thaddeus has earned a whole new batch of readers, most of them quite loyal and impatiently awaiting Book 4.  So I do understand the benefits of social networking.

However, the greatest challenge is to entice all those readers to share with their reviews, ratings, feedback, observations, input, suggestions, and even the rare complaint.

Believe it or not, one of the best tools available to enhance book sales and spread the word, is ……… drum roll, please…….. Yes, amazon.com.  They have this neat little Derek Hart profile page (link below), where a visitor can see Twitter posts, watch the latest video, and go to any of the 19 currently-available novels written by yours truly.

Here’s my quandary.  How do I get all the Derek Hart readers to go to this site, spend at least 20 minutes reviewing the books they’ve read, and perhaps even taking more time to check out the titles they haven’t read?

I’ll just ask.  Please, take a few minutes and go review just the dragon books for me.  It would be awesome.  I really want to know what you thought, what you liked and what you didn’t like.

THANKS!
