If you are interested...would you like the first chapter, which is available on my webpage, as the "extract"?
Thomas

Ideally I am looking for extracts that readers cannot download from your Amazon sample. Something that is after the first 10%. About 100 to 1000 words give or take.
The idea is that my readers are drawn to my blog because of the exclusives I can find them and then more people will come to read the extracts because they know they can't get them anywhere else.
It doesn't however have to be an extract, if you want to do an article or character piece then that would work. Basically any new or exclusive piece of text that showcases you as an author.
We can then put up your author page as well as your Amazon link so readers can read more before they buy etc.
If you are still interested then email me over your files and I will put you up. I have slots available next week at the moment.
Cheers
Lynzie

Hi, L.E. I would love to take part in your free promotion. My name is Rachael JanLynnette McCormick. The name of my first novel is called, "Other Victims: A Historical Fiction About the "Other Victims" of the Holocaust. A Biracial Child Experiences Prejudice and Persecution During The Nazis' Occupation of Berlin."

Here is a character introduction below:
Namib Mushelenga is the main character of my novel, with the story revolving around her and her experiences as she tries her best to live her life in the infamous Nazi Germany. Her name is short for the African country Namibia, which her black Namibian father, Omir Mushelenga, named her after. Namib's white German mother is named Lody Mushelenga. When Hitler comes up with the devastating Death or Divorce Law, targeting interracial couples with death in a concentration camp or divorce instead, the couple and their daughter are forced to go into hiding, living in an apartment abandoned by a Jewish family. Namib is just three-years-old at the time in 1933. Now Namib is fifteen-years-old in 1944, rather small for her age and pretty thin due to stress. Because she is not an Aryan, she cannot do a lot of the many things people tend to take for granted. She can never vote, go to school, or marry an Aryan man if she wanted to. However, Namib does go to an underground school at an undisclosed location. The fact that she has to go out of her way to go to an underground school further from her home, but cannot go to the one closer to her home shows how the Nazis did not want nonAryans to be around and live productive lives. Something as simple as looking out of the window, can be life-threatening to her, for fear someone will see her and make trouble. Because she is of mixed race, Namib must deal with Aryans who don't like her because she is half-black and then with blacks who do not like her because they feel she is half-Aryan. Understandably, she suffers a lot emotionally, being sad about her unfair circumstances. The only few things in her life that she has to make her happy are her Jewish boyfriend named Aven Beneluz, her best friend Damara Nande who is an black, African girl from Namibia, her Polish aunt named Anka von Bon that she wishes she could see more of, her God, and the hope that she and her father will soon flee from Nazi Germany and her mother, who has been growing abusive to her. Namib learns over time to try and weather the storm of her life and country.
I appreciate everything that you can do. Thank you so much.
