“Slivers” – Reader Feedback ❤️

Thank you to those who are reading or will soon be reading “Slivers“, my supernatural novel. It’s available exclusively in paperback from my publisher, Eckhartz Press. Thank you for supporting me and indie publishers like Eckhartz. Much appreciated!

Please lean into Goodreads to post your reviews:

Slivers by Vicki Atkinson | Goodreads

I’d also love reader reviews in the form of WordPress posts if you are so inclined. I’ll cross promote your thoughts here on Victoria Ponders and in two additional places:

  • On the “Slivers” home page on my publisher’s site: Slivers | Eckhartz Press.
  • On my website, Atkinson Group Solutions, on this page dedicated to comments and reviews of “Slivers”.

I’ll also share behind the scenes tidbits about promoting my first-ever novel. This week I found myself answering two unexpected questions about “Slivers”, resulting in a new Q & A feature:

Hi, I’m Vicki. Ask Me Anything

Q: From a long-time colleague in higher education: “Where did the courage to write fiction come from? No offense, but you’re not THAT kind of writer.”

A: After I stopped laughing, I said something like, “Well…nothing ventured, nothing gained, I guess. I was lucky to have readers riding along like formative critics, evaluating my storytelling acumen with honesty. I took their input to heart and tweaked as a I wrote, listening closely to nuances about character development, especially.”

Q: “Will you be available to do book clubs – virtually and/or in person – to talk about “Slivers” with readers?”

A: Wow. This was a fun and unexpected question! My Answer? Absolutely! With “Surviving Sue” I created several resources to support book club discussions and I have a few ideas about the same for “Slivers”. I’d better get cracking!


Did you know Goodreads has a Q & A feature?

I’ve enabled it on my Goodreads “About the Author” page and look forward to reader input there. If you’re not following me on Goodreads, please do so.

Thank you for your support and interest. Coming soon? The official launch party and I can’t wait to share more about that with you, too.

  18. The book sounds so interesting and so glad you were able to get it on Goodreads, wish I could check it out but I don’t think they would deliver to my area. Maybe if I have a friend coming down from the US I’ll try to order it. But wishing you the best with the book ❤️
