A recent review of my novel “Beauty Rising” started like this:

“Prior to Beauty Rising I was completely unfamiliar with Mark Sasse’s work.
You can bet I’ll be reading everything of his I can get my hands on now.”

Wow! That’s amazing and exactly what I need if I am to build readership. Even better, the reviewer explained how she came across my book.

“This book was not one I would have normally chosen for myself, but I got it on the recommendation of a friend.”

This is where it happens – on a personal level. One person enjoying a book and spreading the word to someone else. I never would have reached this reader on my own, but through this recommendation, she found a book which she “loved”.

This is very humbling, and exactly what a new indie author needs. Word of mouth.

So, if you have read my book, enjoyed it, and recommended it to another, I can’t thank you enough.
