The Importance Of Book Reviews
A post by Chris Graham, (AKA The Story Reading Ape), on the importance of leaving reviews, https://wp.me/p3mGq7-yfz.
I am always grateful when a reader takes the time to leave a review of one of my books on Amazon, Goodreads or their own website.
It gave me tremendous pleasure when, during Christmas 2019, a reader contacted me by email and told me that she had enjoyed my “Selected Poems”, and that I had inspired her to write. So, yes, reviews are important to authors.

He sought bliss
In a kiss.
But, “Corona”, she cried.
“Your kiss is denied!”.
“What about a hug”,

A hug”.
“So is love dead?”,
He said.
“Perchance we may dance
1 meter apart.
But, to be safe
We must not embrace.
You have my heart”,
Said she.
“But, let us discuss,
Perhaps, for you and me
It really ought to be
1 meter plus?”.

Whilst swimming in a deep castle moat

Whilst Sitting in a Builder’s Hut
Whilst sitting in a builder’s hut
With a mongrel named mr Mutt,
A goat called Hocking
Ate my girlfriend’s stocking.
And then, she ate that hut!
