And there it is…

The first 1 star review of April Fool! If they honestly didn’t like it, that’s fine. At least this one doesn’t appear to be ‘politically’ motivated.

If my rating is short, so is this “book”. Just as well, it is boring and juvenile. I do not recommend.
Oddly it took over 50 reviews for this one to hit… Usually I get them in the first dozen or so.
Oh well, can’t make everyone happy, and I know that. But with 400 sales, and still holding up pretty well in the rankings,

I’m going to get back to work on the next novel in the queue. Thanks to all of you that have purchased April Fool, and thanks for the reviews.

One other oddity that I noticed was a 3 star review with NO comments. I always thought you had to put at least 15 words in a review, but I guess not…

  1. At the end of some ebooks it will popup with a window to leave a star rating. It will prompt for a longer review, but you can leave the stars with no text. This cross-posts to both Goodreads and Amazon, from my experience (which has been in leaving reviews on books I was reading, not my own books).

  2. Well, I can’t remember my review. Was it did stars or seven? Regardless I agree it was too short by far, but I’ve said or thought that about every one of your works.
    Regardless, I put my money where my mouth is/was and bought the book. Just like I will the next one.
    Keep’em comin’ Jim!

  3. Cedar- Thanks, I didn’t know that!

    RC- LOL, one of THOSE mornings eh? And thank you!

    Grog- Oh well…

    George- Working on it! 🙂

  4. Yep. A little less personal life and a little more writing stuff to entertain us. You need to get your priorities straight.

    ?

  5. What is annoying and frustrating is Kindle will ask for a review at the end of a book, but it seems hardwired to open MicroSheets browsers to do it. Not going there.

  6. Oh well, can’t please everyone.

    I’m finally, at last, moved to write some scyfy. Think far-flung reaches of Empire, Rider Haggard meets Kipling on the moons of Mars. Britannia Ad Astra 🙂
