Nathan... I do have bigger mugs than that.

That is one rowdy bunch of yahoos there, Annie. Shocked I can't place what movie it's in.

*thumbs up* Welcome to the Happy Clown Clan, Eric!

One day when I am rich and famous... probably a week from Tuesday... I will start giving out goodies to my fans, like red noses, squirting flowers and secret decoder rings.

That never happens, but there have been a few go out.

[Nat]

OOh, that is great! Nice success on your book!

[Dwayne, That's Dr. Cannibal To You]

I want to buy your book. Seriously. Details coming in early March.*

*HINT: While what I want to do is not quite the same as what G.G. does, she was the inspiration.

[Christina]

Look, pal, you think you can just waltz in here and throw money around and we're supposed to just roll over? This town can't be bought. My ebooks aren't for sa—

Oh... I mean... That's awfully nice of you! ;P

[Jane]

Now me, on the other hand. I can be bought quite cheaply, but I cost a lot to feed once you have me....

And will await deets with baited....

[Stephen]

Damnit. My latest Crop Opera was not accepted for an anthro anthology. (Matbe it was just not its time.)

[Rohvannyn]

I'll help you out by making sure I have interesting and fun stuff to read, should you choose to! I'm curious about these mysterious details.

[Dwayne, That's Dr. Cannibal To You]

@ Christina... criminy. I already have all your books. And I paid for most of them. Quit it!
@ Jane... I'm cheap-o, too.
@ G.G. I think it's about as good as your Bookshelf you run.
@ Annie - Uhh... I haven't vacuumed in a while. And I have dogs. Be careful down there.
@ India... *giggle*
@ Stephen... You do Crop Operas, too?
@ Rohvannyn... I like being all mysterious and junk.

Hey,

I just noticed that the “Look Inside” feature for Ambrosia Corazon Reine’s Writing It Right For Writers is finally activated after a week of being available. I am bringing this up because there are some people who will not buy a book unless they can read some of it first. I don’t blame you. I’m like that myself. So, if you have been curious about it but have been holding off due to not being able to read it, you can now.

https://goo.gl/I4HpqH

Oh, and due to the length of time it took for the "Look Inside" feature to become live, I am keeping the price on Ambrosia at 99 cents for a few more days. The price goes up to 2.99 on Monday, March 6th.

[Christina]

Does the look inside even get past the intros? I love that there are three of them.

Christina wrote: "Does the look inside even get past the intros? I love that there are three of them."

It actually does! And I hoped it would. It gets into the "Are You A Writer?" section. I'm pretty sure it's well over ten percent of the book. It seems like it.

I hope people read the intros. It really sets up the rest of the book, especially Wesley's.

[Dwayne, That's Dr. Cannibal To You]

It ends with this paragraph:

Simple and fast, yes. But, that is the problem. Nothing will hone your craft like having an editor, a proofreader, an agent, and a publishing house all ready to tell you what is wrong with your book. I do believe these self-published writers are afraid of criticism. I think they are afraid to be told they are no good. Well, let me tell you then, if you want to publish this way, you are no good. No good at all. You need to hear this in order to hone your craft.

I wonder if someone at Amazon did that on purpose. *giggle*

*snerk* Perfect break off point.

And, sadly, I'm still not sure it's as condescending, snarky, pretentious and preachy as some writing guides I've read.

[Eric]

Have you no self-respect, Dwayne? Yours should be the 'est for all those qualities. Especially, prententiousest...

"I don't decide on the décor, sir."

I tried. I tried. But, writing that went against almost every belief I have about writing. I'm more a "write what you want to write and to hell with what other people think" kind of guy. Ambrosia embodies everything that makes me sick about people who think they're the best writer ever. It was a lot of fun, but very draining on me, too.

Thanks for reading Tink. She needs all the love she can get.

[Dwayne, That's Dr. Cannibal To You]

The Asphalt Carpet is going for 99 cents all this month.

All jokes aside, I actually don't think you should ever buy my stuff cuz I reckon you'd claw your eyes out (joking still aside) but I will share your books in a bit cuz....

Sales. Duh ^_~

I already have and I didn't.

Bwahahahahaha!
... Oh...? No, wait. It was Riley. Pretty sure.
I found this delicate napkin embossed with a capital R just over there (In my pocket).

Then it has to be Riley. I've never seen him with a delicate napkin which can only mean he lost it!

OMG, really??

1. Umm. Wow. Thank you ^_^
2. So happy I don't owe you new eyeballs haha!

[Shannon]

I just picked up the writing guide! I thought I'd done it last week, but apparently I had one of those moments when my fingers did not get the memo from my brain...or my kindle just enjoys playing games with me. Either one!

Life broke me.

new eyeballs? duct tape? Annie what have you done now? lol (;

[Jane]

Thanx Annie. I'm just suffering from nobody wants to read my effingbooks-itis. It will pass.

Am now going to play poohsticks with Dog, it's something we never tire of...

Oops hijacked Dwayne's thread. Bad Jane!

Aww, Miss Jane!

(Gonna have to Google poohsticks. Then probably gonna be, "Oh. Duh." And yeah, sorry, Mr Dwayne...)

*pout* *hug* I think a lot of us go through that now and again. But, I wouldn't say nobody wants to read your effing books. I have read one of them, at least. I have at least one of your other books in my Kindle. Chin up! You'll be a household name before you know it.

Nah. You're fine, Miss Annie.

Thanks Dwayne.

I am setting aside fifty dollars to buy your Kindle ebooks! Now, I know some of you publish other ways, but Kindle is my preferred way of reading these days, so I am only interested in buying your Kindle books.

This will work somewhat like GG’s Indie Shelf. I am asking you leave a comment below if you want me to buy your book. I’m not making promises to read or review your book. I am only promising to buy your book. I am not super picky about genre, but if your book is humor or general fiction, I will most likely read it. Western, horror, historical fiction, paranormal and mystery have good chances to be read, too.

So, what do you have to do? Well, comment below this with your name and a link to your Amazon page. Now, along with this, I want recommendations for OTHER Indie books. I want you to tell me about Indie books you have read and enjoyed. This is crucial as I believe Indie authors should be reading other Indie authors, at least part of the time. If you do not include at least one Indie recommendation, I will not enter you into the contest.

If you follow the directions above, I will drop your name into a hat. If you can recommend three books, I will put your name in the hat two times. If I can see that you have verfifed purchase reviews on the books you are recommending, I will drop your name in three times.

On April 14 I will draw names out and start buying. I will continue to do this until my fifty dollars is depleted. And, yes, if your name is in the hat three times and you have three or more books out, this means I might end up buying three books from you.

Please note, I grab a lot of Indie books and often do not tell the author, so if I draw your name and find I already have all of your books, I will have to pass you by.

On or shortly after April 14, I will do a post with all the authors and books I have bought (I may include anyone on the list who I had to pass over due to my having their books already).

So. A brief summary: Your post below should consist of your name, your link to Amazon and your recommendation for Indie books you have enjoyed. Three recommendations will get your name in the hat twice. If you have a verified purchase review on those books, you will be in the hat three times.

Get going!

[Jessica]

Hey Dwayne, clarification, please? I read a ton of indie books via my KU subscription, but my reviews of those books don't show as verified purchases. Not that I necessarily am trying for extra names in your hat, but I've gotta ask... ;)
