Get a free ebook from me for a couple minutes of your time

I wouldn’t normally do something like this. I ask kindly in some of my ebooks for readers to leave a review if they’re so inclined, but I never beg or bribe or pay for them. It’s cheap. Like a cheap pair of panty hose stretched over an unshaven leg. It runs and tears and starts to smell and you’re left looking like a fool. Even in your new sparkly red pumps. Which, by the way, do go great with that clutch. I stand corrected on that, I guess. Wait, where was I?

Oh yeah. Asking for reviews. Well, here I go, and I’ve decided bribery works best. If you’ve read THE SUMMER I DIED, and haven’t left a review specifically on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk, would you be so kind as to pop on over there and leave a review, however short it may be. I’m going to make it worth your while, I promise. I’m trying to generate some more reviews for the sake of the upcoming movie. Since anyone buying the book now will see that the movie version is coming out, and we can start generating a lot of buzz. Also, because I’ve heard the production team is putting together packages for additional financiers, and including a TON of reviews will definitely help with greater funding.

In return I’m paying you off! I will send you a FREE kindle/nook/ereader book of your choice from my catalogue. Salticidae, Ratings Game, Scraps & Chum, Hissers, Born to Bleed, even novellas like Choose, With a Face of Golden Pleasure, and Enemy Unseen. FREE!
Just email me the link to your review and tell me what book you want and I’ll send it.

“But I already left a review of the book on Amazon. I didn’t get a free book, you jerk!” What do you think I am, some kind of savage? Of course this is retroactive. If you’ve left a review on amazon for The Summer I Died point it out to me and you too will get a free book.

“I left a review for you on Goodreads. It’s six paragraphs long!” Well cut and paste that baby to Amazon.com and a free book is yours.

“But I only gave it two stars on Goodreads.” Doesn’t matter, you took the time to review it there so you still get a book if you get one on Amazon.

“I hated your book. I’m one of the jerks who gave you a one star review on another site and attacked you personally.” I’m not gonna lie, that 1 star review isn’t really helping this movie get out there, and I don’t think I’ve read a 1 star review that didn’t attack me personally somehow… but I suppose if you want to repost it, you’ll qualify too. If for no other reason than maybe I can sway you with a less gorier book. (But really, if you could refrain, I’d love you more.)

“How long is this offer good for?” Um….Hulahoop. Wait no, wrong answer. I meant it’s good for as long as this blog entry it up.

So that’s the deal people, review THE SUMMER I DIED on Amazon and get a freebie in return. It’ll only take a couple minutes. Thank you for all your support and long live the French Toast Killer Robots!
