Thanks to Janet Gogerty for this 5 star review of my paranormal short story ‘Finding David’. I’ve no idea why Amazon won’t allow it, but it’s on Goodreads. The ‘Zon have their reasons I expect, but I just wish I knew what they were!
Times and Tides of a Beachwriter
I have been catching up with my book reviews; two novels, a poetry anthology and two novellas / short stories. Authors from England, the USA and Australia. Yeshiva Girl was the novel that stood out for me and I was delighted that Amazon posted my review after my recent experiences. I post all my reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, you can see Amazon’s response to Finding David, but I have not yet heard back from Amazon on the other three. So the mystery continues; I and other reviewers have concluded it could be the rule that you must have spent £50, or fifty of something in your own currency, in one year to be able to leave a review. As Amazon allows authors to sell their e-books for as little as 99 pence this does not make sense. Nor does it make sense they accept a review for one book…

You figure out whatever algo Amazon uses for accepting or denying anything from content (which is close to censorship) to reviews let us know. I tried half a dozen times to write a 1 star review of a book, with no bad language, no “this really sucks” or personal attacks on the author’s dumb assed-ness (which would be silly in a review anyway) and it never stuck. I called a seat belt latch extender for kid car seats so they could find the latch a piece of crap, and the big A took it. Go figure.

My personal take on it is because Janet Gogerty has written an article for the ‘Understanding’ anthology, so perhaps the ‘Zon is working on the theory that she is either family or friend.
