An Imperfect Award
"Award" might not be the most choice descriptor here, but it'll have to do in place of . . . "pawn-off" or "hand-me-down." Either way, I'm offering a prize to whomever can leave me the best, wittiest, cleverest, literariest, or most apt review for "The Lonely Man: The Witch's Price" on Amazon or Goodreads.
Now don't go thinking you have to make a purchase to be involved in this contest--no purchase necessary if you catch it in time. "The Lonely Man: The Witch's Price" will be having its FREE promo days 6.27.13, 6.28.13, & 6.29.13. So you can pick up a copy without any injury to wallet or purse.
You see, I'm hoping for a good number of reviews--at least my wrists are hoping something comes of their labor this week--but I also wanted to offer some kind of incentive, something that might draw in one more reviewer, be he/she literate or not.
What's the prize, you ask? Why all this suspense, you ask? Calm down, it's coming.
The gifted item will be . . . my signature and a personally written note on one of the final manuscripts for the book. (Click for image, baby not included). Heck, I might even record and post myself doing the signing, just for your viewing pleasure.
That's right. You can see the errors that were almost not caught (and might still be at large). You can smell the office paper and ink. You can even cuddle with it, knowing my skin once pressed against its fibers . . . And also not that.
I've never considered a reward before, but seeing as how I want to draw in a few more readers, I figure I might as well give it a shot. People seem more inclined to do things where a reward is involved. Who knew? The winner of this award will be chosen at my discretion, which means your review will have to adhere to my tastes, tastes that range from sweet to sour. So even a bad review could win this finely crafted and unsullied work of fiction. I'm all up for scathing, blistering insults, as long as they're aimed at all my shortcomings and personality flaws. Plus, I'll post that there winning review up on this here blog along with glowing praise for the individual that won. Yes, even if the praise is undeserved in the light of my feelings being hurt by a meanie.
This does mean I'll need your mailing address. P.O. boxes come in handy in instances such as this. But if you don't have a P.O. box, hopefully giving out such personal information isn't to your dislike. I promise not to share it or sell it to companies and all that legal stuff. And if you live in a far-away land, well, guess I'll be charged for a bit more postage.
In all truthiness, this is an attempt to reel in more readers, with the hope that reviews will follow. I'll be much obliged to all who participate.
Content will run for at least two weeks, ending around July 11th, to give all readers a chance to finish and review.
