Featuring author Ben Christian

Today I am featuring awesome author Ben Christian. I read his book "Deep wounds". It was the first time I read Christian's thriller.

Ben was born and raised in the small and quiet town of Silsbee, Texas. Crunching numbers by day as a formally trained accountant, Ben has written several short stories through the years and has begun fulfilling his lifelong interest in storytelling through adrenaline-filled novels based upon people that you know and see every day.

He firmly believes that behind every smile, every laugh, and every tear, there is a story. Understanding the power of passion and will, Ben applies this philosophy to his own aspirations, believing that anything is possible with faith. When not behind the pen, Ben is an avid car fanatic and enjoys attending car shows/races with his wife, traveling to new places, and enjoying new life experiences that can be incorporated into his work.

Read my review:

This is the first time I read an action thriller with a religious background. The notes from Bible give special effect to the story. The authors lead us with fast dialogues through the world of street car races. This is the place where you can win a big money and lose your life. After Titus neglected his family, his wife Delilah involve with criminal Josh. Titus starts to lose his benefits and luck is betraying him. He will do everything to get his family back. I was racing with Titus because every chapter is a trip with a roller coaster.

Should we respond to negative reviews?

Recently I had a discussion in my social media about negative ratings. There was a situation in Goodreads, where I got two negative reviews on my two books. The point was in the way how the ratings were set up. First rating for my book "Body in the waves" was placed under 5-star review from another reviewer. While the reviewer praising my book, the troll came under to say "This is really bad book." Second rating was described as " Poor author needs writing lessons." Both reviews broke standards of reviewing, because there is no visible evidence that book was downloaded in Kindle unlimited or purchased. It was a clear troll act from a new page, without a profile photo and with a nickname. I reported this to Goodreads and they responded me they are processing this. Meanwhile, I heard from other authors that Goodreads failed to do anything about trolling. In these terms, Goodreads should delete such profiles and forbid the access because of breaking rules. T...

Why the refund is damaging indie authors?

I understand someone can be disappointed with a book. It is like I was disapointed with my trousers online and returned it. What makes a difference, my trousers were 40 euros. The book was 2.49 cents. This makes return funny, because what can you do with this money? Some readers don't understand story behind the refund. The author will get minus royalties. - 0.13 c in my Kindle report, that will vanish when someone else buy the book. The situation happens. Someone accidentaly clicked and bought a book. A random customer wants a refund. Maybe it was not a random move. Maybe the customer clicked, bought and did not like the book. When you don't like the book choose another options, instead of damaging authors. Write a negative review. Write negative one star rating. Don't purchase another books from this author. Or, maybe to reconsider and read it, again? If you write negative reviews or rate it with 1 or 2 stars, you are making a favor to authors. You are moving algorithms i...

Five myths about promo sites

Recently I asked for a featured Bookbub deal for one of my books. I got response that my book should be free priced and my expense would be 230 dollars. This is really funny, because I could expect people grab my book for free and give me one star (as it happens when books are available for everyone). To pay such amount of money would be waste and without a purpose. I am mix of traditional and indie author. Having a publisher, but not bestseller books, I am looking for ways to increase my book sales. Promo sites like Bookbub are very expensive and they offer their deals for 25% books from authors who applied for this. I had an insight to author's books who grabbed Bookbub deals. It works will authors who are already selling a good amount of their books. In general, promo sites are not working for favor of indie authors. These are five myths about promo sites: Promo sites give many readers. It is not true, because you will get visibility and many trolls, but not readers. Promo sites...
