A Post from R. Clint Peters, Webmaster of The Book Reviewers Club

Some musings on a Monday afternoon......

I just loaded some new member information onto The Book Reviewers Club website. What does that mean? That anyone who is a member of The Book Reviewers Club has a better chance of having one of their books read. As I have said, a rising tide raises all ships.

The more people who join The Book Reviewers Club, the better the odds are that you will have a book read and reviewed. Why? It's a matter of interest.

I write from experience, as do most authors. My experience includes the Internet; I have focused some of my heroes on things to do with the Internet. But that causes a problem. I have asked family members if they would review one of my books; in most cases, they have said that they liked what they read, but there was a lot they could not understand.

It's a matter of interest. They just aren't interested in learning how one of my heroes was able to track the kidnappers of the President's wife and daughters using the Internet. (The Pendergast Solution). Which brings us to the numbers. How many members of The Book Reviewers Club are interested in adventure novels? And how many of those people like adventure novels about the Internet? It is all numbers, specifially, the numbers of people who are interested in what you have written.

So, I am thrilled that The Book Reviewers Club is growing. And I am thrilled that the number of followers of The Book Reviewers Club on Twitter is growing. A rising tide raises all ships.
