Oh dear Dale! The tails you tell! :) (and suddenly Diabolic Shrimp's membership drops to zero)

Hey everyone and happy new year! (cue blaring party popper noise)

It’s a new year but I’m still on my quest to review a novel from every author on the planet! In the past year, I’ve bought and reviewed hundreds of novels from other authors via my site Diabolic Shrimp (I review on Amazon and Goodreads as well). If you’d like a review, simply pop on by Diabolic Shrimp at the link below and join up. It’s absolutely free and you don’t have to do anything besides the simple sign up process. Additionally, I offer numerous free opportunities to advertise your book throughout the site. Diabolic Shrimp is all about service to other people, so I hope I get to see your book there! :)

Groovy Barbara! I'm happy to help authors! I look forward to seeing you there!

Awesome Carmel! I'm still in the process of uploading everyone, so you should get a welcome message within a week. I'm happy you're with us!

Yeah, if it blew up that would be a really expensive way to make popcorn shrimp! I bet Elon Musk would totally be onboard with putting shrimp in the payload of one of his rockets though!

Awesome Dale! Either of the links work. I manually upload each person as part of my process to get to know each author so you should receive a welcome e-mail within a week.

And as for shrimp in space....we'll find a way to make it happen. The future isn't the future until shrimp have colonized the moon

Thanks LE! I like to think of myself as a man of intrigue

Hey Carmel! Not sure what's up there. Go ahead and try again and if it gives you any issue just message me here on Goodreads and I'll upload you myself. I look forward to having you with us! :)

That's awesome to hear Nancy! I look forward to checking your work out! :)

Dale wrote: "Love the name. ;-) I'll pop over there shortly."

Thanks Dale! It's part of my little joke to myself. The 'diabolic' is for my diabolic plan to get every author on there one day and take over the world. The 'shrimp' is because authors are the little guys, but together we're pretty impressive. And shrimp are awesome.

Kimberly wrote: "How do I get my book listed on your site. I checked out your site but didn't see where to list my book."

Hey Kimberly! If you click on the Join! tab on the menu, it'll walk you through the form. I upload everyone manually, so you should receive a welcome e-mail within a week. If you have any issues, just message me here on Goodreads and I'll get you set up!

Thanks Erica for the kind words! :)

Hello! My name is Josh Grant and I’m on a quest to read and review one book from every author in the entire world! Yes, I know, it’s insane, but that’s sort of the latitude I operate in.
On my site, Diabolic Shrimp, I buy at least one book from our list of authors each week and eventually review that book on Amazon, Goodreads, and Diabolic Shrimp. I also buy a book each month to give away to our readers (so if you’re a reader reading this, then pop on by too). I’m a strong believer that authors should get paid for their work so I don’t require you to pay or do anything to receive this support (other than join Diabolic Shrimp which is free).
There are many other optional opportunities on Diabolic Shrimp to receive support as well such as competitions and free advertising. So if you’re interested in helping me on my quest, check out the link below!

Did you just turn in your application to S.T.A.R.S.? Or perhaps you’d like to move to the sunny locale of LV-426 (just ignore the slight bug problem). Yes, you’re that person that is torching down The Thing with an ice cream cone in one hand without breaking a sweat. If this describes you, then you’re wanted for a new expedition! So strap on your Mobile Infantry uniform and come check out my novel Pandora.

A special forces team is called out to investigate the crumbling hulk of a cruise ship that has been missing for a week. Join the hapless survivors as they square off against impossible creatures and uncover a conspiracy with apocalyptic consequences in this Sci-Fi/Horror Thriller!

(It’s also free on Kindle Unlimited)

Are you one of those book collectors that’s just one book shy of being some kind of fire hazard? Then we want you (just don’t burn down anything)! On my site, Diabolic Shrimp, I have a totally free drawing to give books away to readers. There are over a hundred authors on ole Shrimpy, and I do my best to connect them with readers that might enjoy their books through my monthly free book drawing. If you’re interested in this, head over to www.diabolicshrimp.com and provide me with which genres you enjoy and an e-mail I can reach you at (don’t worry, I won’t send you a million e-mails or hassle you). I hope to see many of you there! 

That's great Angela! I'm in the process of uploading everyone now. I'm happy you're with us! :)

Sounds like a great idea! There's an author on FB who is promoting a similar thing.. the concept of 'buy an indie title and review it'.

That's awesome Laurie! You'll have to let me know about the FB author. I'd love to check it out. As for your work, I'd love to have you on Diabolic Shrimp! We support a vast diversity of authors and genres.

Erica wrote: "Great website and very fun newsletters. :) Check it out!"

Ah, Erica! Thanks for the shout out and for reading my newsletters despite my filling them with terrible shrimp jokes.

L.E. wrote: "Hmm, sounds intriguing



But the shrimp in space: alive or dead for cooking?"

Haha! The intent is alive. You can't conquer the galaxy with an army of dead shrimp....maybe.

Hello there word wizards! That’s right, I’m talking to you oh great and powerful author. Over the past year, I’ve been creating a community of support for people just like you. I’ve designed a space where you can get honest reviews and a connection to readers. On my site Diabolic Shrimp, I buy a book each week from our list of authors, which I eventually review on Amazon and Goodreads. I also buy a book each month to give away to our readers, hopefully connecting that author with a brand new reader. It’s all free to join and I don’t hassle you with a bunch of e-mails or anything. If this is a tool you think might be useful, check it out at www.diabolicshrimp.com. I hope to see you there!
