What Makes You Take a Chance?




So its the worst time of the week. You've come to the end of a great book, a riveting story or worse still an entire seriesand it's time to leave that world behind. It's a sad thing to leave a world you have come to love. The characters have become friends. The setting had felt comfortable and familiar. What is an avid reader to do? Simple really. It's time to find a new author.
For me, finding a new author is like looking for a new lover. I've just submerged myself into the world of one writer. How can I be so unfaithful and go to look for another? And how do I choose?
Do I buy an ebook because it will likely be cheaper to take a chance on a new voice out there in the writing world? Do I take the recomendation of a friend and read what she's reading? Do I go about buying a Sunday New York Times and enlist the reviews in my decision making process?
It's a big question. So, how do you find a new author when you exhausted your favorites?
