Getting book reviews feels amazing! After all the thought and hard work a writer pits into learning their craft, outlining, writing, rewriting and finally putting their work out into the scary world… reading how people positively react to their work with a review helps keep us motivated!
I did not know how important reviews were until I started writing books. A review is like a pat on the back, a compliment and a recognition all in a few lines. They mean alot – good or bad.
However, when one comes from an experienced literary professional, it gives the review even MORE added dimension and value.
These two reviews are from the people I am working with on my audiobook. I got them yesterday. And although my audiobook is not out yet… their words encourage me to keep fighting. Their reviews inspire me and confirm that I might be giving something of value to the world.
Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Xavier moved to Europe , in 1988. He speaks three languages (English, Dutch, and French), and has a bachelor’s degree in medical laboratory science. He has worked for years as a Biochemist, Toxicologist and Lab Technician in America, France and Belgium.
He has also had an active interest in spirituality for three decades. Having traveled to various ashrams, pilgrimage sites, and meditation centers in India, France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Spain, and New York City, he came across spiritual techniques used in Catholicism in Italy, Hinduism in India, Orthodox Catholicism in Montenegro, Taoism in China, and Islam in Turkey. On his journeys, he met privately with several spiritual guides and masters. All of them were open to questions about spirituality and why certain techniques were done. Many of his questions were about techniques surrounding affirmations, meditation, and prayer. The books Xavier writes condense six of these techniques into a series of unique books -- “The Six Steps of Scientific Prayer.”
