A review for Origins from Goodreads…
A while back I got a nice review for Origins from a girl named Dionne in the Goodreads forums. She never posted it on the book’s listing, or rated the book on there, but I wanted to share the review anyway just so it wouldn’t get lost in the shuffle.
——————————
Nice. But I’ve finished reading your book and I liked it too. You had a funny point in the story too that I laughed at and still can’t get it out of my head, which still brings a chuckle to me.
Anyway I did enjoy reading this. The characters are unforgettable (so if you’re thinking of killing off these four, don’t) They make the story what it is.
The setting and the language on how they speak is very descriptive. Like I’m really speaking to teenagers there. It’s a lovely change of pace, in my opinion.
I may even end up getting the rest of your books too. You never know. *wink wink*
Great story too. And great ideas.
I’ve pulled the series from KDP Select and republished through Smashwords.
With the addition of Kindle Unlimited to Amazon, they’ve given us the chance to remove our books from KDP Select early, which I’ve done. I’ve republished them on Smashwords and soon they’ll be going out to all of the normal distribution channels and subscription services, including Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple, Scribd, Oyster and others.
I couldn’t see any benefit with remaining in KDP Select as I’ve only had one borrow since I entered the program. Amazon’s exclusivity demands for promotions and inclusion in their subscription services should not be encouraged, and the amount independent authors will make from the program is suspect anyway since there are no hard numbers available.
Anyway, it’s a bit of a relief that my books will now be available everywhere once again. Well, everywhere except for Google Play. I added my books there for a short time and I just don’t like their setup, so I removed them and I don’t plan on putting them back, or at least not right away in any case.
