I just learned that on Amazon, that if you have 20-25 reviews Amazon will include the book in its "Also Bought" and "You Might Like This" lists. I'm close on two of my books, The Last Stage and The Doors Examined. If you would like a copy of either or both books I'll be glad to send them to you in exchange for a review on Amazon (Goodreads too!). Just message me with your name and mailing address and I'll send them out to you! Here's a brief synopsis of both books.
The Last Stage - Michael Night is an aging professional student looking for a way out of a small town, and away from a loving girlfriend who increasingly wants more from him. And he's also a Doors fan with ambition. But he doesn't know how to act upon it, or even admit them to himself, until, inspired by friends who tell him he looks like Jim Morrison, and a chance meeting with Ray Manzarek he takes a chance on his dream and starts a Doors cover band. He sidetracks a band on their road to fame, and together they experience the exhilaration of being a Rock n' Roll band on tour, from the long hours, the agents, the travel, the groupies, record company executives and the growing ego of Michael Night, until they're offered the gig of their Rock n' Roll dreams. On the road Michael meets and falls in love with Caitlin Stewart, daughter of legendary guitarist Jerry Osprey, but she doesn't trust his motives, does he truly love her, or is she a career move for Michael? Or even a collectible? They're carried to the doors of stardom when the band plays in Los Angeles where Michael meets former child star Jimmy Stark who shows him the monster fame, celebrity and stardom can be, crashing studios and parties Michael assembles an entourage of has been's and wanna be's . Then Michael Night and the band meet their destines on the stage of the Whisky a-go-go! And when it's all over Michael Night is afforded the last stage he has.
The Doors Examined - A compilation of articles written for The Doors Examiner. The Doors Examined explores all aspects of The Doors their history, their pre-history, profiles of people in The Doors circle, reviews of CD's, DVD's and books released by or about The Doors, and follows the band members in the present day lives.

I'm in. But I have no message link for you? For some reason. Maybe if you message me first? For a fair trade, I'll tell you about how Morrison once lived in my adopted home town, and the cool place I go sometimes to soak up his dead vibe.Oh, yeah, Kerouac too.
I can't. For some reason your page has no messaging ability --that's what I meant--I think you have to message me first, perhaps.
Thank you to all that participated! I have to end the offer I'm out of books! Thank you and I'm looking forward to your reviews!Thank you for your help!
