We all have our favorite books and authors. For me, I love the Harry Potter series, The Mortal Instruments, and The Demon's Lexicon. My favorite authors at his particular time are Cassandra Clare, Stephen King, Holly Black, and Sarah Rees Brennan. Below, you will find a list of things you can do to support your favorites.
1. If a pre-order is offered, purchase a book then. The sale will be recorded on the first day of release. This helps to give it a boost so that it will show up higher on pages and in the ranking.
2. Don't use the buy link. This is something I learned recently. If you hit the buy link, the sale is recorded, sure. But if you search for books 'like it' and then click on that book, Amazon sees it as an impulse buy. This can really help a writer out. For instance, my new book is a contemporary romance about a woman falling for her boss. I discovered that if people typed Boss Romance Workplace in the search bar, my book appeared on the first page, and they could buy it that way. Easy for them, and GREAT for me.

3. Share the author's book. It isn't hard to click Share on somebody's post. I do it all the time.
4. Review the book. Reviews are important, especially on Amazon. Writers need to buy promotional opportunities with top places like Bookbubs and Freebooksy, but they won't take our money unless we have a certain amount of reviews and stars. The amount depends on which promo place you go to. But that isn't the only reason for reviews. The more reviews and ratings, the more the book has obviously sold. Out of a hundred book sales, you will get maybe a couple reviews, if that. So PLEASE review the books you enjoy.
5. Tell your friends about it. Rave about it if you loved it. Word of mouth is the BEST advertising, but so few people do it.
Here is my pre-order. If you love contemporary romance that is a little on the steamy side, you will love this book.
One engagement can save two reputations... if they can keep their hands to themselves.
When claustrophobic Anna gets trapped in an elevator with hunky Skylar, the last thing she expects is to exit an engaged woman. But Skylar insists tongues will stop wagging when people realize she is marrying him and not sleeping with her boss.
