And to think I was reluctant to solicit reviews. I'm glad I put that sentiment to rest. And I can relax, too, because the reviews that are coming in have been great. A blogger/reviewer named Kym King posted a review last Friday, and like Shin the Bookworm's review a couple days before that, it was a great review! You can read it here.
I still realize that sooner or later someone will post a negative review. It's inevitable. But right now I'm three for three including that first review over a year ago that was really cool. I wish that guy left it on Goodreads, it was so good. But whatever. At least I'm finally getting some more reviews, and if they're all as good as these last two are, I've got nothing to complain about. I just hope someone out there will read them and buy the book. But with reviews like these, it's sure to happen.
Interestingly, these latest reviews were written by two different women. And they both loved it! I had thought that I wrote a MEN'S fiction book. Of course the women who had read it had said that they loved it, and these two reviews certainly support that claim. But the fact that these two lady reviewers loved the book is significant for another reason. And that is the fact that most book readers these days ARE women. So that bodes well for future sales of Killer of Killers.
Another thing that I'm particular happy about is that both reviewers made it a point to say that they hoped there was going to be a Book Two. They noted the things that were still unresolved at the end of Killer of Killers, and wanted to know what would happen next. Well, there is a book two. It's called Killer Eyes, and it's on the verge of completion. Look for Killer Eyes, a Trent Smith Martial Arts Thriller to be released this year.
