Hi Bonnie
Keep up the good work supporting authors!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year my friend.
There should be a reviewer Ranking under your Amazon profile. If you are in the top 10,000 then you are on the list. I would love to know how to become a Vine Voice.
I finally found it. I’m 50,906. Yikes! I guess I don’t care. Kudos to you! Amazon Vine–they have to invite you. I did a lot of reviews years ago and got an email out of the blue from them with the invitation. It is a good program. I’m not sure why they noticed me other than all my reviews.
That’s 50000 out of millions though. Congrats on being a Vine Voice. That is awesome.
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Bonnie, take a look at https://www.brchitwood.com under ‘Books by BR Chitwood’ – if you find a book you might be interested in, let me know and I’ll have Amazon send you a copy. BRC
