If you have not heard or seen the new Amazon Review rules or have had reviews removed from your book page recently with little explanation, Anne R. Allen’s blog explains the new rules really well. http://annerallen.com/amazons-new-review-rules-should-authors-worry/ There should be a canon of ethics for book reviews — bottom line, Do not buy or sell reviews. But there are a lot of other issues to consider now with Amazon’s new rules. — Natasha Yim BOOKS: Otto's Rainy Day, Cixi, The Dragon Empress, Sacajawea of the Shoshone, Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas WEBSITE: www.natashayim.com FORT BRAGG LIBRARY POETRY WRITING WORKSHOPS
