My entry to Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award has reached the quarter final stage
Have posted this in another thread, but what the hell, here it is too :)
Got the email this morning to tell me I was one of the last 500 with my SF book "Sympathy Jones".
See here for some cool reviews:

A reward for your hard graft.
And maybe more to come...
;)
Not entirly sure what I am supposed to be doing right now... Sit back and wait I suppose...
Anyone here from the USA?
If you want to get on;)
Wear them over your tights and you'll get noticed! ;)
Anyone up for that?
Anyone want to do me a massive favour?
So, I guess Penguin need to like the book as well as reading lots of glowing reviews... Lots of ways think about that, don't you think?
My book in the Amazon breakthrough awards is now available to view by Amazon Users outside the Sates. You need to have an active Amazon.com account and then you can download and review the opening chapter.
If anyone has the time for that, would appreciate it greatly.

Sorry.
I believe there is at least 2 weeks left to run a review, so don't worry about it until you feel better.
@Probie, it's alright mate, don't order something just to run a review. I'm sure to get more volunteers who don't need to do that.
Looking at the reviews total, he does seem to give downbeat reviews... I'll take comfort where I can. Next... Self Delusion is the new black.
"A riviting page turner. I am not into paranormal or supernatural stuff or even murder stories, but I can see good writing and this is it. This woman has what would be a horrible gift of seing the acts of voilence after they happen. She is hired by the police to come to the crime scene and tell them what she sees and feels. It is a very tramatic thing for her and quite haunting.
After each event she has to go get drunk and find a man to bring home and have sex with her, this takes away the horrid scenes and releases her from them. Now she only has to deal with what she has just done. Such is her life.
I'd say this belongs on the BEST SELLER list. Again it is not my type of story but it is good and that is why I am reviewing it for merit, not my personal choice.
Great work. Good Luck."
