Reduced prices for TRAPPED
My award-winning novel, TRAPPED, is now on Amazon at reduced prices: Print @ $10.19 (was $12.95), and Kindle @ $5.99 (was $7.99). Trapped has about 50 reviews, nearly 40 of which are 5-Star & 4-Star. Here’s a link to the Amazon page, where you can read an excerpt:
I hope those of you who read and love it will write more reviews, and tell all your e-mail and Facebook buddies. Here are several of the reviews:
“Trapped” is a wonderful, gripping thriller that grabs the reader’s attention from the first page and refuses to let go.”
“I thought it was very well written and look forward to another book from this author.”
“I was instantly captured by this book because of it’s simplicity yet very complex story. It has a very unique story that you’d totally don’t want to miss out. I was hanging till I get my answers, I was absorbed in every possible way. This book totally caught me off guard with it’s diverse plot and very unique voice. It’s hard to imagine a world like this and I commend the author for writing this book with utmost fluidity and uniqueness.”
“Wow! A woman trapped in a body with only her mind and eyes working. What a dull book that should have been but this author allows us to see the world around her with truly wide open eyes. Exciting, mysterious, intriguing and phenomenal. A must read!”

new short story on Kindle
I’ve uploaded a new, short story, A LUCKY COINCIDENCE, on Amazon Kindle recently. It sells for the daunting price of $0.99. In a sense, it’s a mini-thriller about a private pilot flying his family to Florida, trying to beat a massive snow storm. But Mr. Murphy and his pesky law gets in the way. It’s only 5000 words, and I hope those who read it, take a minute to leave a review. Here’s a link:

A new Tour and A Great review
We’re just under way with an new Virtual Book Tour. Today’s 2 stops are at the following links. Both reviewed TRAPPED with very high marks. The 5-Star (and some 4-Stars) keep rolling in. We’ve just got to get the word out, and hopefully, readers who like it will pass it on to all their friends. Let’s the the word out there.

Todays Book Tour Stop
Today’s Virtual Book Tour stop is at: http://bitsnbobsbooks.blogspot.com/2013/03/author-interview-george-bernstein.html?showComment=1363097499578#c7533470648220136546
It features a Guest Post by me and a feature of TRAPPED. Eventually, they’re supposed to do a review, too.
There was another interesting post by another “touring” author about critics, which I commented on. Withe 23 5-Star reveiws, the few 3-Stars I’ve received because someone got turned off by a few typos (can’t catch them all, no matter how many times one edits!) don’t really bother me. Another complained about “too much sex” (THAT should help sales, don’t you think?), so she missed the point of why it was there. Maybe that’s my fault, though. If someone doesn’t “get the point,” then the author may have failed to properly make it. Luckily, no one else has had that problem.
There are two Book Tour stops again tomorrow, with guest posts and features. I’ll send the links later.

More Virtual Tour Stops
Well, my first Virtual Book Tour is winding down, with the last stop Friday, March 15. Todady’s Guest Post is at “Kindle Nook Books.” http://kindle-nookbooks.blogspot.com/ It’s a very intereasting site, with several other good posts.
I’ve also started a new Virtual Book Tour, and today’s Guest Post, on advice to new writers, is found at: http://theeternalscribe.weebly.com/blog.html This tour is running through April 4, with about 15 “stops.”
These tours are fun and seem to be getting a lot of interest. Several of the “stops” in my first tour still owe reviews of the book. So far, reviews have been great. Usually done by a book club, they all say the same thing. I quick read that’s hard to put down. I’ll keep you posted.

My Guest Post & Amazon Feature
Two new features have occured.
Amazon KDP has again featured TRAPPED in an ad to their clients, putting TRAPPED at the top of a suggested reading page for the 3trd time. You can see the e-mail ad at:
vfe-campaign-response@amazon.com
Also, Blogger Tracy Riva has posted my Guets Post, about “Punching Up Your Writing,” on her blog. She e-mailed me that, despite knowing I’m a debut author, from the article, she would think I’ve been publishing for years. Nice validation for all the work I’ve put in to polish my skills. Here’s a link:

It’d be nice for you to “Like” her page, maybe join it, or at least leave a comment. People like her put a lot of time into these sites, and should know they’re appreciated.
