Praise for Rosen Trevithick

"Brilliant."

- The Independent

(Re: 'The Troll Trap')

"This is another page turner from Rosen. The characterization is spot on, the pace is perfect and she is the mistress of suspense."

- L K Jay (Author)

(Re: 'The Ice Marathon')

"The ups are oh so funny, the downs are quite heartbreaking. I am not ashamed to say I was in tears more than once. The last story just blew me away when I got to it. This is definitely the best collection of stories I've read in a long while and I'm sure I will read them again."

- J. Stacey (Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer)

(Re: 'Seesaw - Volume I')

"Once again Rosen has succeeded in crafting a delightful story, full of humour yet delving into the more serious side of human nature and relationships."

- P. Elliot (Goodreads Mod)

Why do we need (yet) another eBook forum?

BookHippo.uk now supports discussions, with the ability to comment on books, authors and drabbles, plus a homepage that collates all of the threads. See bookhippo.uk/forum/

There are already two fantastic forums out there for UK Kindle lovers - Kindle Users Forum (KUF) and UK Amazon Kindle Forum (UKAKF). These are great places where you can discuss all aspects of books and writing. Both well-moderated, they are friendly places to hang out.

So why do we need another forum?

Original content will strengthen an important site that benefits authors and readers - BookHippo.uk.

BookHippo.uk delivers a daily newsletter that helps match authors and readers, resulting in thousands of book downloads every month. Unlike many book promotion sites, BookHippo.uk is free to use. We know that authors make very little money, and don't think it's fair when 'the middle man' earns almost as much, if not more than the author, for a fraction of the work.

At present, most BookHippo.uk sales come from paid advertising. This proves costly, which limits the impact of promotions. In order to get unpaid traffic, we need to increase our search engine rank.

There are two fantastic ways to improve rank:

1. links from other websites (thank you, folks)

2. featuring relevant, well-written content that's unique to BookHippo.uk

The goal for the BookHippo.uk forum is to increase the proportion of original content on the website as a whole. At present, most of our content duplicates info found on Amazon (e.g blurbs and author profiles).

We wholeheartedly support KUF and UKAKF and respect their ongoing contributions to the eBook community. If you do have a little time to spare whilst waiting for replies on the major forums, please pop by the BookHippo.uk forum and start or join a discussion thread.

Many thanks

Rosen
