"WHAT THE BLOG?!"
JEff Walker's Blog
(News-Updates-Information)
Hey everyone, I’m sure most of you that have come on here and wanted the latest scoop on my efforts in writing. Well, I’m currently still working hard on cranking them out as fast as I can. Most authors say beginning for reviews is a big ‘no-no’....that the work should speak for itself. True...no argument there. But I think it doesn’t hurt to simply ask the reading audience to give some love back to the author and give their honest review of the title.
Amazon only accepts verified purchase reviews of the books (wow....strict), but that’s not the only site to spread the word. Bookbub.com and Goodreads is also a great place to share your voice on it. But there’s also facebook groups, blog sites and anywhere else one could spread the word. Am I begging? I don’t really think so. I won’t be broken if it doesn’t happen. It’s more a show of support from those who enjoyed or want to comment on my work. Writers enjoy feedback....both good and bad if need be. I’m hammered out 5 titles in total....(not bad), with more on the way....the more reviews I get, the more inspired I am to keep on writing. And that’s what it really is about....inspiration. To know the readers are helping the author by lending their two cents on the story given. So this isn’t begging. This is more a rally to those who’ve read the titles to share their thoughts. Ok...back to writing I go.

2018 what a year it was for Jeff Walker Books!
It was a fruitful year for my writing and made many new breakthroughs. First off, I managed to get two short stories published! Not only that, but I also managed to get two of my four part Outer Red story out in the same year. That for me is a new record. I somehow also managed to get them made into Audible stories....at least my first collective book - DISTANT SAGA TRILOGY and INTO THE SHADOW OF DARK (The Mysterious World Of Professor Darkk And Miss Shadow). It was a hard lesson into the world of ebook publication, not to mention terrifying for me to see the reactions to my work (which was mainly positive and respectful). I thank all those that reviewed it freely and gave an honest opinion on the stories. Outer Red Part 1: Off The Gvien Path was my surprise hit in much of the year, followed by the Audible version of Into The Shadow Of Dark. It’s this kind of validation that inspires a writer to continue and improve the next story based on that kind of feedback. 2019 is the next big challenge. I’m pushing for the two final parts of Outer Red to be done, as well as to make them audio books. I’m trying to complete Book 0 of the short story collection of Professor Darkk And Miss Shadow (as well as finishing the novel before December 2019), and I’m in mid-chapter by chapter writing of my Sci fi/drama of Your Service Is Required. So hold on to your hat 2019....you and I have a lot to do. |
