[James]

I just got a look at my reading challenge for the year and I'm so far behind i can see my backside on the horizon, so if you have a book you'd like to have read and reviewed on amazon and good reads (sorry. I don't have a smash words account.) by all means sign up and I'll accept the first twenty authors and send you my email. Genre irrelevant. Reviews will be honest. Add your number to the reply

[Nathan]

Hey Jim,
That's a great offer. Thanks so much. I have two books out and could use a review on either of them, or both LOL. Although book one has 10+ reviews already, book two has some spoilers on book one in it. Both are available on amazon, or I have PDFs.

Written in Blood
Root of Evil

Thanks again for the offer,

[Amy]

Hi Jim, that's very kind of you. I have one out now and one out on the 14th July. I struggle for reviews. Maybe it's because I've written erotica but you did say genre irrelevant. They're also SciFi and funny.

Hi Jim, Looking for reviews on Oh Susannah It's in the Bag. Let me know if you'd read it (does it qualify- it's only 34 pages.) My son is author Michael Phillip Cash and I am always looking for reviews for him- You can do him instead- let me know which one.

[Henry]

Hey, Jim! I'm sure you would enjoy my dark dystopian adventure about two depressed bounty hunters. It's the first book I've ever written so some brutal feedback would be essential for my improvement.

Check it out here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

If you're interested, give me your email and i'll drop you a .pdf.

heh, not too many people focus on the fact that good reads is a community. people get out of it precisely what they put into it. besides, after struggling to get reviews myself I can relate with an authors frustration. :)

[James]

eleven books on the review list folks, and already one review posted. nine signups to go :D

[Daniel]

Hi Jim,

That's a good offer. My book is called An Island Paradise and is a romcom based in Seychelles (where I've been living for the past 5 years).
It's currently on offer on Amazon for free from today until next Tuesday.

That's great Jim. I hope you enjoy the book. Great idea by the way. I might do something similar myself.

[Peri]

Hi Jim! This is really great of you!
I'd love a review on My Life As I Knew It but I don't know if you'd be interested since it's YA. It's contemporary with some romance/humor and a thriller element.
Thanks,

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful and rich

ByCarole P. Romanon July 2, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase


Wonderful and rich, The Crazy Life of a Kid from Brooklyn is an American story, a journey of a young boy from Brooklyn, living the American experience, starting with the days when kids played stoop ball with pink rubber Spaudlings. Morgenstern writes of simpler times, when you ate at your best-friends house all the time and got into the type mischief that will make you laugh when you sit around rekindling the memories many years later. His memoir is an account of his life, from childhood, to army, to retail, each stage a learning experience, where he picks up people to enrich his life and enable him to achieve his dreams. He is hard-working, ambitious, and as a result it is an interesting life, worth the time to read it. In books like this , we realize everybody has a story to tell that will represent their era and the way they used their time is a refection of who they are.













A Great Read!

I loved this delightful, informative and insightful book. Oh, did I mention inspirational!? Bill Morgenstein is a perfect example of how someone can leverage anything they do in life. He certainly took advantage of all his experiences and made them stepping stones to the next big adventure. He tells his stories with a lot of detail and a great perspective on how he made it all happen. I was especially drawn to his experiences in the shoe business. As someone who was employed by Thom McAnn in high school, and a former shoe model --- I wonder if our paths ever crossed?

"Another Step Into The Spotlight! Book Review–Bill Morgenstein’s The Crazy Life of a Kid from Brooklyn

By tsufit on Jun 10, 2017 in Authors, book review, Book Reviews, Uncategorized


You know that song, Dueling Banjos?
So, in my case, it was Dueling Books.

Just got off an international flight with the book I started before boarding the plane and this book from the top of the heap of mail that accumulated during my 3 weeks away. Read a chapter of one, then a chapter of The Crazy Life of a Kid from Brooklyn, another chapter of the first one, another chapter of the Crazy Life book until a winner emerged.

At first, I almost didn’t open it ’cause I generally only review business books and this appeared to be more of a memoir or autobiography. And it is that. But lots for those looking for business lessons as well. Lots of lessons about managing people. Like when he purposely left an imperfection for a fastidious boss to find.

Spent the day on the backyard deck in a reclining lawn chair eating fried zucchini, peanut butter and banana and devouring Bill Morgenstein’s book. Hated the references to his early date’s appearance but kept reading anyway ’cause this guy is fascinating. A mischievous kid to the end, we get to see this guy create trouble, escape trouble, rise in prominence and responsibility and success from escapades in Korea to travels around the world in the shoe business–it’s hard to figure out how the author fit so many adventures into one lifetime and he’s still at it. Don’t pick it up unless you’re prepared to neglect everything else on your schedule ’cause you won’t be able to stop till page 323.

Truly fascinating to get a long peek into the life of an extraordinary ordinary guy."

Please note that all requests or questions will be answered promptly. I value your opinion.

Jim,

If you still have room can we add our newest science thriller The Happy Chip? The Happy Chip

Here's a BLURB:

You feel ecstatic! Until you kill yourself.

The Happy Chip is the latest nanoengineering wonder from the high-flying tech company, NeoHappy, Inc.

Hundreds of millions of people have had the revolutionary chip injected into their bodies
to monitor their hormonal happiness and guide them to life choices, from foods to sex partners.

Given the nanochip's stunning success, struggling science writer Brad Davis is thrilled when he is hired to co-author the biography of its inventor, billionaire tech genius Marty Fallon.

That is, until Davis learns that rogue company scientists are secretly testing horrifying new control chips with “side effects”—suicidal depression, uncontrollable lust, murderous rage, remote-controlled death, and ultimately, global subjugation.

His discovery threatens not only his life, but that of his wife Annie and their children. Only with the help of Russian master hacker Gregor Kalinsky and his gang can they hope to survive the perilous adventure that takes them from Boston to Beijing.

The Happy Chip, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, spins a cautionary tale of unchecked nanotechnology spawning insidious devices that could enslave us. It dramatically portrays how we must control our “nanofuture” before it’s too late.

Thanks Jim!!

[Angel]

Hi, Jim! My name is Angel Chadwick. My novel Weeping Well has just been revised and re-released this month (July 2017) and could use some fresh new reviews since all the reviews I have on Amazon and Goodreads are from the old copy. It is an international crime mystery/thriller set in 1989-2007, supernatural, some romance, action, multicultural, multiracial, settings are mostly set in the UK and additional locations are Japan, Mississippi and Chicago, local color is added throughout, supernatural, sports (rugby) with sports jargon (described in layman's terms), starts with an Irish Catholic family, some sci-fi, adventure, horror. It is the first book and introduction to the series, but is written as a standalone. Thanks!Weeping Well

[Jessica]

Hi Jim,

I think I'm the last...!

Mine is a (grounded) fantasy at approx 97k. I can provide most formats, but if you like Kindle it is a permafree on Amazon, however I can send you .mobi, PDF, .epub direct, if you prefer.


The Fate of Vultures

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fate-Vulture...

Just remastered, so would love for some more reviews to add on Amazon and here.

Very much appreciate your time :)

[[deleted user]]

Hi Jim,
It appears you still have two spots left.
Mine is Alvar's Spear. A complex sci fi/speculative novel that International Writers Inspiring Change has called, "Star Wars Quality Action. Alvar’s Spear takes us into the future where sentient races are at odds, where the ultimate fate awaits entire worlds unless one person, Gar, a hybrid, can find a way to save his world before it is too late. Wonderfully written, elaborately detailed, filled with engaging dialogue, heated passion and action."

Hello Jim! I think you already hit your 20 slots, if I am reading this right. If I miscounted, I would be thrilled to have one of my children's books reviewed. I am right now trying to build reviews for Talking Tales Puppy's Bubble. If you are interested, I would be happy to set you up with a Kindle copy. :) It is a very quick read. ;)

[James]

heh, it is over but no worries. I'll read and review :)

[Dennis]

Jim,
Thanks so much for the review of The Happy Chip. How wonderful that you made this most generous offer. Reviews are so important.

I have purchased Heroic Measures, and, although I do not read as much as you do, I promise to get a review of it posted in September.

[James]

it's apreciated :) if you purchased it through kindle you might want to update it in a couple days. i hired a professional editor to give it a polish to catch some of my mistakes.

[James]

alrighty, so if you're on the list and i haven't reviewed your book, give me a shout out, otherwise we can consider this thread closed :)

[Day]

Hello Jim. I am a new time author. I have just published a book called Those Who Swallowed God. The series is called the Adventure of Narvix which you can find on Amazon. I just saw this post and I may have exceeded the twenty reviews. If I you have time, check out the first book and let me know what you think.

[Simi]

Hey, Jim. I was wondering if you can check out my book, The White Sirens. It's a mystery novel with a hint of Coming of Age. It's about a girl who wants to make a fresh start of her life, after she is released from prison. The only way to earn her living and clear her name is by aiding the police.

I'm not sure if that is your interest, but you can check it out if you like. But it looks like you're already got other people to read their books.

But that's ok. :) Feel free to read my book anytime you like. Btw, my book is available on Amazon in ebook version, just letting you know. https://www.amazon.com/White-Sirens-S...

[Day]

Hey Simi, I just read the sample of the story and it seems interesting so far. Are you currently working on a paperback?

[Simi]

Day wrote: "Hey Simi, I just read the sample of the story and it seems interesting so far. Are you currently working on a paperback?"

Not yet. Sorry. :( I wish I could, but I couldn't waste money on paperbacks, if there's a few people buying my book.

[C.]

If you want two really fast reads, I published two short stories, one fantasy and one paranormal. The paranormal one is my tribute to Poe and Halloween. The fantasy one was my tribute to the eclipse we had in August.

I also need to catch up on my reading goal, I've just had too much fun writing that my normal reading addiction has been sidelined. Good luck with your goal!

[Day]

I see, how have you been promoting? I dont know if you like fantasy books, but if you have time check out The adventures of Narvix on Amazon. It's my first book

[Barbara]

Hi Jim,

I sent you a copy of my Adventures of Little Miss HISTORY BOOK in July. I don't believe that you have had a chance to read and review yet.

[Simi]

Day wrote: "I see, how have you been promoting? I dont know if you like fantasy books, but if you have time check out The adventures of Narvix on Amazon. It's my first book"

I do love Fantasy. I can check it out if you like.

I mean, I promote through twitter and group chats on Goodreads. Nothing more. I wish to do giveaways, but I don't have enough money to do so. So I just keep on promoting. Luckily, I did a sale on my book. I'm not sure how that worked, though.

It's really hard to promote and earn money with just one book. You need to have a few, then you can spend some money promoting the first book and hopefully people like your work enough to buy the others.

I also recommend authors visit kboards.com. Specifically the Writer's Cafe in the Authors' forum. That's a great place to learn about promotions that other authors have done and might give you better ideas on how to promote your own book without spending a fortune. There's also a yellow pages of editors, cover designers, you name it. It's a great resource for indie authors.

Oh, thank you. :) I might check it out. And yeah, I know what you mean. Having many books can give you plenty of options for readers to read. Luckily, I'm working on my next book. So hopefully, it might do me so good. Who knows?
