I know all of you have been waiting patiently for a new book, and I want to thank you for your continued support. I'm happy to announce that I've finished my newest mystery, Splintered.

I’m trying to get the book published with Amazon’s imprint, Kindle Press. I’m hoping that by signing a publishing contract with them, I’ll get the one thing I’m in sore need of—visibility. Since thousands of new books are uploaded to Amazon each week, it's extremely hard for an author to gain traction in such a cluttered marketplace. But with Amazon’s marketing machine behind me, this could give my writing career the boost it needs.

Amazon decides which books to publish using their website, Kindle Scout. It’s a unique forum where they ask readers to vote for the titles they’d like to see in print. This voting system helps Amazon gauge the potential popularity of a book.

So I’m asking if you’ll visit Kindle Scout and vote for Splintered by November 17. If my book gets enough votes, it will be marked as Hot Trending. And if that happens, an Amazon editor will read my manuscript and decide if they want to publish it. The best part is that all voters get a FREE e-book copy of Splintered if it’s published!

Stay tuned and I’ll post about my campaign numbers in a couple of weeks.
