“Poldark with Fangs!” How one Book Review means the World to an Indie Author

Check out my book review where an unknown reader compared my LGBT fantasy novel to the famous fictional Cornish character Poldark (well, the series is set in Cornwall).

Read my blog post to see how just one book review can make a world of difference to an indie author.

How one Book Review means the World to an Indie Author

I am so excited! And it took just one new review for my debut novel, Love Hurts (A Redcliffe Novel), to set me off. We writers are a sensitive breed. We thrive on compliments, much like the rest of the world, I suppose, but for me this has been the boost I needed after more ups and downs in the world of writing and marketing.

My latest 5 star review comes from a reader who took my novel on holiday. And now she wants more. Hooray! She called the story, “Poldark with Fangs,” which I think is absolutely brilliant, and why didn’t I think of that? I mean, I watched Poldark because of Aidan Turner, because I first discovered him as the vampire John Mitchell in Being Human that was shown on BBC3, and I fell head over heels in lust for the boy. I even pictured him as a candidate for Detective Jack Mason in an upcoming television series or film franchise…

Thrive on dreams and possibilities

Hey, we thrive on dreams and possibilities! Anyway, I just wanted to share my excitement, and my dreams, and I hope that if you haven’t picked up the Redcliffe novels yet, then it will encourage you to do so. Put it this way: if you love Aidan Turner, if you loved him in Poldark, if you love sexy, smouldering alpha males with strong female characters in a picturesque Cornwall location, you will not be disappointed. Thank you!
