 ====== Rules on Reviewing ======
-First off, you should know I only have a limited amount of time, so I can't review a hundred novels at once. Sorry, but that's basic physics for you. If I agree to review your novel, you may have to wait a while for me to get around to it, and then I'll need time to read it.

If I agree to review your novel, you may have to wait a while for me to get around to it, and then I'll need time to read it. I only review hard copies.

   - Don't get pushy if you begin to sense inertia. If I agreed to do it, I'll get around to it as soon as I can. I'll email you to let you know when it's done, and usually will tell you when I begin your novel.
   - I don't do //Romance//, //Erotica// or //Romantica//. A romantic element is fine, but not if it is the main thrust of the story.
+  - Put your email address in the body of the comment so I don't have to rummage around the disk looking for it (trust me, nobody else will ever see it)
-To request a review, simply fill out the comment form below. Only I will see it. Don't forget to leave a real email address or it'll be difficult to talk to you. Mention the title and the genre, and where it is available from (e.g. Amazon, Lulu, iTunes etc). There's no need to put a link to the book on these sites.
+Once a review has been completed, I'll post it in the review section of this blog, on my FB page (and several groups I'm in) and on Amazon.
