Hey.

I see you made it. 

Are you sure you know what you’re doing here? 

You’re going to get a lot of emails from me.

Like how many emails?

Just enough to deliver all the goodies I've made for you.

Oooh, I like free stuff.

Hold your unicorns! Not that kind of free stuff. You know you’ve got enough bookmarks to last until Jesus comes. 

What I am going to be sending you is valuable content you can actually use to make your job easier.

My job? You don’t know anything about my job. 

See, that’s why this page exists. So we can make sure – before you click on any buttons below – that we’re on the SAME PAGE (bookish pun intended). 

When you ask me for an advanced reader copy of my book, you’re also signing a job application to become my next book reviewer. 

Actually, I like to imagine you putting your hand on a Bible and telling both me and God, 

“To the best of my ability, I will write an honest review of Operation Guard Your Heart, and then share it on Amazon and/or Goodreads on or near the publication date of May 8, 2026.”

It’s not like I’m asking for your first born. Just a review. NOT A NOVEL. JUST A THREE SENTENCE REVIEW. 

Ahem, where were we? 

You seem a little agitated. How are you going to react if I don’t even like your book? 

Great question! Imagine with me that I baby-sat for you, meaning I spent hours getting well-acquainted with your little sunshine, and then I started gossiping to the neighbors about you and your child. Got the picture?

Honesty? Yes. Cruelty? No.

Just stick to the golden rule, and we should be fine.

That wraps it up for now. Do we have an understanding?

If not, let’s just say good-bye right here, and no one will know we EVER met. 

Wait. What if I’m not even qualified? You didn’t check to see if I’m any good at writing reviews. Or how many followers I have on social media.

Not needed, my friend. 

I welcome serious influencers and those who still post pictures of their food. I welcome those who know where to put their Oxford commas and those who are more comfortable throwing emojis around like confetti. The worlds need some of both, I think.

Now, If this is your FIRST time reviewing books for an ARC, then you can and should click on the book image and go see what Amazon has to say about your qualifications to leave a review there. 

The rest of you? You KNOW what to do.
