A Certain Point of View, Too

On Writing & Storytelling: I Guess I Did Write Something Worth Reading After All….

One of my friends and fellow review writer, Kurt Messick, with his copy of “Reunion: A Story”

Hello again, Constant Readers.

During my rest break, I went to Amazon to check on Reunion: A Story’s sales – sadly, only one copy so far has been purchased in October – and its ratings/reviews on the novella’s product page.

I wasn’t expecting to see any changes as far as reviews/ratings were concerned; Reunion has been available on Amazon – in various editions, at that – since July of 2018, and the last review submitted to the e-retailer was published on August 6. Since that date, the number of ratings (with and without reviews) stood at 16 – meaning that 75% of consumers wrote a review in addition to giving the book a “star rating.”

Well, during my first rest break – I’m on a second breather cos I’m tired – I moseyed over to my book’s page, as I said earlier, and noticed that while the number of reviews is still 12, the ratings (which range from one star for Poor to five stars for Excellent) increased by one from 16 to 17.

Currently, of the 17 ratings, 72% are five stars, while the remaining 28% are four stars.

Isn’t that something?

I guess I did write something worth reading after all!
