How to Help an Author: Leave a Review
I saw this on Charles Delint’s Facebook page and it’s so very true.
This is why I leave reviews on Goodreads for the books I read. It doesn’t matter if the author is well established or just starting out.
Reviews help get books moved on up the charts.
Reviews help books get past the initial first day sales, giving them staying power.
Reviews show that you, the readers, were moved by the book, whether it was in a positive or negative way.
Please leave a review after reading – I sincerely hope it’s a positive one 🙂
You can either leave a review for The Secret Service Agent or Conversations in Real Time on their respective pages here on the blog, or on the digital store were you bought them (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Kobo, or Smashwords), or of course, on Goodreads.
Thank you so much!

Tell A Fairy Tale Day
To celebrate we’re posting an old Sylum story that’s been edited and will be uploaded to the new archive!
Sylum Inspiration: Noah Dixon
Sylum: Hunter
Noah was born a free black man in Missouri, to Henry and Martha Dixon. Noah was the youngest of four children (Gregory, Elizabeth and Hannah), and his mother died when he was born. His father died when he was a young child, when slavers burned down their farm. Sally, a slave his father had bought then freed, raised him and his siblings to appreciate his freedom and do what he can to help his brothers in slavery. Noah was educated by a local Pastor, Derria Book, who became a father figure for his adult life.
He joined the Pony Express at the pushing of James Hickok, who he had met when he got tangled up with slavers. The two men became fast friends, Noah not knowing about Jimmy’s nature until a fateful trip into Kansas.
Noah was captured along with Book, both being auctioned off for slavery. He was saved when Jimmy with the help of his Clan Leader Nicolaus Valerius Meridius, Warrick Calhoun, Antonio Crisafi and Timothy Quinn showed up to help with the situation. During the escape both Noah and Derria were wounded and subsequently Turned.
