Hello Joshua! My name is Maya and I'm author Hygge: The Danish Secrets of Happiness. How to be Happy and Healthy in Your Daily Life. Would you like to review it?
Hey Josh, I joined Diabolic Shrimp and I am looking for reviewers for my debut novel. I'm a playwright, screenwriter, and video game writer/designer. (And if you play video games you've probably played a few of my titles.) I would love to get you a copy if you're interested.

It usually takes me a week to get people who joined uploaded since I read and respond to everyone personally as part of my way of getting to know them. I'm a staunch believer in paying people for their work, so I'll eventually buy your novel and review it (I don't actually accept free copies personally). I look forward to checking it out though! :)
I'm also a huge lover of video games. My most recent novel was heavily influenced by the Final Fantasy series and the cover was done by Tyler Edlin who worked on Zelda Breath of the Wild. What games do you like to write/make? Have a great day and I'll be e-mailing you soon!
Cool. My video game credits include Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, Company of Heroes 2, Dying Light, Dead Island, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Tom Clancy's The Division, Ruiner, and Mafia 3. I haven't played Breath of the Wild yet...but I'm dying too.

Hi Josh, I joined Diabolic Shrimp, and I'm looking for reviews of my first novel "Xenoman," a satirical dystopian sci-fi fantasy. Let me know if you are interested and what you need from me. Thanks!Adam
Brief synopsis: Xeno yearns to have access to The Nth Dimension like The White Boys, famed telepaths who suffered brain damage when they made contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. Out of work as a bartender since the Shoki Pao dance club mysteriously burned down, Xeno's lackluster lifestyle is getting harder to maintain.
Having survived an overdose of Black Magic, and successfully revived by Drinama, a brain implant slipped to him as a Mickey at a job fair, Xeno earns an entry level position as an agent for secret service organization Intellegella. Garry, his handler, introduces Xeno to the industrial version of the black box, allowing Xeno's pineal gland access to synthetic sensory perception with the turn of a dial.
Xeno's initial mission is to test the black box on the field, under Garry's watchful eye, and to locate Trianne, an ex co-worker, ex model, ex pole dancer for the Shoki Pao, gone missing and showing signs of spontaneous human combustion, an emerging side effect of Black Magic, and a public safety hazard.
All he has to do is bring Trianne back to Intellegella for treatment. It's that simple . . . according to Garry.

My significant other wrote a very intense memoir called "White Sheets To Brown Babies". It is about being raised by the Grand Dragon of the KKK in North Carolina and leaving that hate behind. https://www.amazon.com/White-Sheets-B...
Dear Josh,First of all, I think what you're setting out to do is friggin' honorable. Kudos, brother!
Secondly, as much as I'd love for you to read and review the pilot book in my scifi/action/comedy series, The Joint of No Return (an intergalactic bestseller just published here on Earth yesterday), I must insist that you PLEASE refrain from doing so.
Look, I realize you may download the sample from Amazon, or be tempted to grab it for free from KU. I understand the cover art will probably draw you in like a dung beetle to a steaming camel turd. I get it. But please, for the love of everything on our fragile planet... I beg you: DO NOT READ IT.
Why the drama? Apparently, I forgot to secure legal rights to mention certain planets and their species,.. and apparently this was in violation of some galactic treaty or something, and APPARENTLY every Earthling that reads my book puts our entire planet in danger of disciplinary mass extinction. Whatever. What a bunch of squares.
Look, until I get these galactic lawyers off my ass, please just be satisfied to bask in the amazing Amazon descriptions and interplanetary reviews here : https://amzn.to/2H5LGkK
P.S.: I must address your courage around announcing the lack of shrimp you've launched into space. No other reviewers have that courage... in fact I can't think of anyone who even bothers mentioning it. Hit me up with a PM and I'll hook you up with a dude I know at SpaceX who can smuggle a shrimp or two into orbit.
Peace!
Tom

Hi, I'm an Australian author who was recently picked up by an American indie publisher and I was hoping you'd be keen to review my novel Into The Other. This is available from my publisher but is also listed on Amazon. I am willing to send a free PDF copy if you'd like to review this.Thanks
Synopsis: Faced with imprisonment for murder, a young woman named Josie encounters a strange and malignant man known as Calder, who offers her a way out at a high price: she must give him her firstborn baby. Agreeing under duress, Josie later attempts to renege on the deal, but Calder eventually returns to take what he claims is rightfully his.
Josie moves on, struggling to come to terms with Calder’s machinations. Meanwhile, her child is raised by Calder on the boundary to another realm known as The Other, a beautiful but deadly place for those who are not from there. A twist of fate has Josie believing she may have bested Calder at last, however he refuses to let her have her way when he returns to present her with a newer, more harrowing choice.
Thank you!!

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!
