The Alpha Flame: Discovery by Catherine Lynwood
Maggie asking for the reviews that help this indie story find its readers.

I want to say this plainly: if you're reading this, you have the power to help an independent author more than you might realise. Reviews aren't just marketing, they're lifelines. They tell other readers this story is worth their time, and they tell me all the hard work mattered.

If you're willing to help, I'd love to offer you a copy of The Alpha Flame: Discovery. For readers in the UK, I have a limited number of physical copies available, some of which I'm happy to sign personally. For anyone anywhere, I can send an eBook version.

All I ask is that if you enjoy it, you'd consider leaving a heartfelt review on GoodReads. Even a few honest lines about what moved you can make a world of difference. It tells new readers they can trust this story.

As an indie author, I don't have a big marketing budget or a team of publicists. What I have is you. Your recommendation carries more weight than any ad ever could. It means someone cared enough to share their thoughts.

If you're interested in helping, please get in touch. I'll be grateful for every single person who takes a chance on this book and then chooses to tell the world what they thought.

  • Free eBook for all reviewers
  • Limited signed physical copies for UK readers
  • Heartfelt thanks from me, Catherine Lynwood

Reviews are the oxygen indie authors need to keep writing. Every sentence you share helps this story reach new eyes, giving it a chance to live on beyond my little writing desk.

I know it's asking for a bit of your time, and I don't take that lightly. But if this book speaks to you, if you feel something real in these pages, your words can help others decide to take the same journey.

GoodReads is the main place to review right now. Amazon requires the book to be on sale first, so that's a step we'll take soon. Waterstones and Barnes & Noble generally don't accept customer reviews unless you've bought through their site, which can limit options for now. But GoodReads is open to everyone and is a trusted place readers check before picking up a new book.

This isn't about slick sales pitches or begging for five stars. It's about sharing something genuine. A story that means something to me, and hopefully to you too. If you’re willing, I’d love your help in telling the world it’s worth reading.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for making this journey with me.

  • Honest words mean everything
  • Help this indie story find its readers
  • From my heart to yours, thank you
