Being Seen (and Reviewed): A Small Request from the Author’s Desk

Asking for help has never come easy for me. Especially when it feels like the line between authentic connection and shameless self-promotion blurs under the weight of algorithms and sales metrics. But here I am, doing just that.

Comings and Goings – The Art of Being Seen is out in the world now, carrying within it quiet stories about love, memory, timing, and the complicated gift of being truly noticed. I wrote it hoping that someone, somewhere, would feel seen by it too.

So here’s my ask: if you’ve read the book—or even if it’s still waiting patiently on your nightstand—I’d be grateful if you’d consider leaving a review on Amazon or Goodreads.

Just a few lines. A reflection. A favorite moment. A note about how it made you feel—or didn’t. Reviews matter more than most readers realize, especially for indie authors who can’t lean on big marketing budgets. They’re not just for sales (though yes, sales help); they’re about visibility. They let stories like this one find their way to someone who might need them.

One thoughtful reader let me know she’s planning to write one soon, and that gesture alone meant more than she knows. Still, the book could use a few more voices to help it echo.

I know writing a review can feel like homework—but I promise, there’s no right or wrong way to do it. Your words don’t have to be polished. They just have to be yours.

And if you’ve already written one, thank you. Truly.

Back to the writing cave now—there are more stories to tell. But this one? This one still needs to be seen.
