[New-Poetry] Okay,

[Anny Ballardini]

Bill Loehfelm is one of the club, or of the gang if you prefer. The story is well written, I mean the several beginning pages Amazon offers, which sort of makes you think that it will continue till the end. Why not then? I am pasting the original message:

Hey y'all, 

I have exciting news. My novel Fresh Kills has advanced to the semi-final round of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, meaning I finished in the top twenty percent  out of over 5,000 entries. The grand prize is a publishing contract with Penguin, one of the world's leading publishers. Out of the semi-finalists 100 writers will be selected for the finals. 

Here's the critical part: Advancement to the finals will be determined by reader downloads and reviews for the novel excerpt currently available at a link I'll post at the end of this message. If the link doesn't work, you can access the contest page through Amazon's home page. Just scroll down on the left and you'll find the name of the contest. My novel is entered under mystery, suspense and thriller. Click that link and I'm on page 6. The excerpt is available for download and comment until March 2. Throughout the process, representatives from Penguin and from industry publication Publishers Weekly will be watching for entrants that get a lot of attention. 

This contest is the best opportunity I've had in a while to get my work significant attention. I beg you to take a few minutes to download the excerpt (it's free and it's printable), read it, and write a review. I really need everyone's help on this. I will be forever grateful.

Thanks and wish me luck,

Bill
