Read, Enjoy & Share Your Thoughts

Your Feedback Helps Giftkone Publishing Grow

One of the greatest rewards of writing a book is knowing that somewhere, someone is reading it.

At Giftkone Publishing, I would like to hear from the people who discover my books, stories, activity books, journals, coloring books, puzzles, and other publications. Whether you have followed my work for years or have only recently discovered one of my books, your thoughts are welcome.

My books are published under two pen names: Butch Gray and Hank Gray.

Books written as Butch Gray include many of my stories, novels, nonfiction works, history books, memoirs, and other reading titles. Most are available in several formats, including eBook editions when appropriate.

Books published as Hank Gray include many of my activity-based publications, such as coloring books, journals, puzzles, log books, and similar titles. Because these books are designed primarily to be written in, colored, completed, or otherwise used physically, many are not available as eBooks.

Have You Read One of My Books?

If you have read or used one of my books, I would sincerely appreciate hearing what you thought about it.

Your feedback does not have to be long. A simple star rating can help. A written review can be even more helpful because it tells other potential readers what you liked, what interested you, or what kind of reader you believe might enjoy the book.

Most importantly, I welcome honest feedback.

You never have to write a positive review simply because you enjoyed another one of my books or because you received a complimentary copy. Your own experience and opinion are what matter.

Interested in a Complimentary Book?

I am also willing to provide selected complimentary books to interested visitors who would genuinely like to read, explore, or use one of my publications.

A rating or review is not required, expected, or necessary to receive a complimentary book.

Receiving a free book does not create any obligation to review it, and whether you later choose to leave feedback will not determine whether you may be considered for other complimentary titles in the future.

I simply want more readers to have an opportunity to discover the books published through Giftkone Publishing.

Availability may depend upon the title, format, and number of complimentary copies available.

I'd Also Like to Get to Know My Readers

If you request a complimentary book, I would love to know a little about how you discovered my work.

For example:

Have you read or used one of my Butch Gray or Hank Gray books before?
If so, which book did you discover first?
How did you hear about me or Giftkone Publishing?
What kinds of books or subjects interest you most?
Which Giftkone Publishing title would you most like to read or explore?

These questions are simply a way for me to learn more about my readers. Your answers do not determine whether you are required to review a book.

Ratings and Reviews Make a Difference

Independent authors and small publishers do not always have the advertising resources available to major publishing companies. Reader feedback can therefore be especially valuable.

A rating tells another shopper, Someone read this book.

A thoughtful review tells them something more: Here is what another reader experienced.

Reviews can help new readers decide whether a story, history book, memoir, activity book, coloring book, journal, or other publication might be right for them.

If one of my books entertained you, taught you something, brought back a memory, started a conversation, or simply helped you spend an enjoyable afternoon, I would be grateful to hear about it.

And if you believe something could have been better, constructive feedback is welcome too. Good publishing is a continuing learning process.
