A lot of these posts asking authors to “share your book cover, blurb, and links” are not about helping you promote your work.They are fishing for authors to target with paid services.
If someone really wanted to promote your book, they would simply share it. Be careful who you give your details to.
Wow, first review on Goodreads!
Today I became a published author. Slightly terrifying, mildly exciting.

So, there are ARCs who downloaded a copy of my novel to review it before publication, who are scammers of various types. Where do these people get off? I thought 25 people were reviewing my book. It turns out it's probably fewer than 5. Gutted.
Debut author desperately seeking reviews.
The Orchid Mystery arrives 10 March.
1970s Cambridge. A rare orchid. One inconvenient murder.

Cambridge, 1977. A rare orchid, left beside the body of a murdered professor, draws DCI Rievaulx and DC Carter into a deadly web of academic ambition, buried secrets, and a clandestine society where every clue threatens to unravel the quiet dignity of the university’s ancient foundations.
People often ask why I set my mystery in Cambridge, and in 1977. Honestly, modern forensics can kill the suspense. Cambridge in ’77 has the perfect atmosphere for a classic, character-driven whodunit. #mysterynovel #mysterywtiter #goldenagemystery
