"Thanks to everyone who has bought my book Cerebral Palsy: A Story ‘Finding the Calm after the Storm’ from Amazon UK and Amazon US.
I am being told that unless you’ve reached Amazon's spending criteria, which on Amazon.com is $50, and £40 on Amazon UK you are not eligible to forward a review for our books, even though your sale may be a verified purchase. Amazon are clearly making it difficult for independent authors.
What began as a personal journey to understand and navigate my own trauma – growing up with a disability I didn't know about – has become something much bigger. My book continues to help me heal, and I know it can help others too.
If my words have resonated with you, I would be truly grateful for your support. Sharing your thoughts through a review – whether on my website or elsewhere – helps to bring this book to those who may be searching for emotional and mental relief. The more we share, the more we can help others on their own path to healing. I would be grateful for your support.
If you have any problems, please feel free to get in touch with me through the contact form."
Stay safe and well.

I would encourage everyone who has purchased your book, but who are unable to leave a review on Amazon, to send you their review so that you can publish it on your website.
Your book is a book for our times and it deserves the widest audience.
Thank you. This has come from others telling me and I believe the same to be true. It has become even more relevant because we have the coronavirus and because we're in lock down.
There is a lot for us to mentally and emotionally deal with right now, particularly at this time. The irony is that my book has become even more relevant for our times.
I hope people will see what you see and leave a review, so others may be guided also. With 10+ years of a website behind me, the evidence is clear. What I do works and it's helpful, even more so in these times.
Fingers crossed on that. Thank you.
Cerebral Palsy: A Story 'Finding the Calm After the Storm' is an awesome book. It's fullness has made me a habitual reader.
Let's lift each other up, please write a review!
Thanks Tim. I'm glad. I agree we must lift each other up, particularly in these difficult times.
Yes, help me, help others and write a review.
