Helping Authors During the Crisis



Hi, everyone. I hope you and your family are safe and practicing safe distancing and the hand washing routine during these crazy times.

One upside to this crisis is that it's giving us time to slow down and think about one another, not only our friends and family but the community as well. People all over the country are pitching in to help out anyway they can. I took my lunch break from my day job the other day and donated blood. The need is great.

Even just calling on your neighbors to check on them is a big deal.

When it comes to authors, most do not make a huge sum of money from the books they write. Many times it's the simple satisfaction of having a title published and enjoyed even if by only a handful of people that motivates them to continue writing that next book. I know :)

So, when you have a moment, lend a hand to your favorite author. Visit their website, their GoodReads page, online bookstores like Barnes & Noble, your local bookstore, or the author's page on Amazon and leave a comment and review on one of you favorite books by that author so that others can discover it and in turn, purchase that book and help the author. And hey, give your friends a heads up on a good read!

Every little bit helps.

Thanks. Stay safe, everyone. Till next time - cheers.
