#EveryoneDiesAtTheEnd is an e-ARC that won't be coming out until May of next year at the earliest, but I've learned lessons since my last book came out, so I'm trying to collect a few reviews before it releases! If it sounds like a story you'd enjoy, feel free to send me a message, and I'll see about getting you a copy. Thank you!

Riley

Who knew the zombie apocalypse would be caused by something we all know is deadly...but that is also all around us? Two stories intersect as the world delves into chaos - Earl, a drugged out heroin addict constantly in search of his next fix, and a family struggling with the dramas of everyday life, get no reprieve during this zombie outbreak. Can any of them survive the deadliest game of all - survival against undead, each other, and the world around them?
If the zombies don’t kill you, there’s always you, the rest of mankind, and nature itself to pick up the slack.

Could you post a writing sample? Like, the first paragraph. That will help :)

You know, good point. Probably also a good time to mention that it has quite a bit of profanity in it as well...so I'll post to the first true curse word. How's that?

Everyone Dies At The End

Jadee scratched her arm, feeling the itch in her veins that begged her to inject herself with tar. She'd used her last little bit earlier, and now she waited impatiently for Earl to get back from the dealers. She sat on the stairs, trying unsuccessfully to calm herself. The state of the house was pathetic. Trash lined the floors, as well as messes from animals no one had bothered to clean. The smell was sour and rotting, full of death and decay.
Jadee jumped from the stairs when Earl charged into the house. She crashed into him, before stepping back to give him some room. “Did you get any?” she asked, her hands all but shaking with anticipation.
“Of course I did, but I only got a little bit.” He pushed her away, trying to make his way to the living room. “But he didn't really give me enough to share.”
She shoved him, sending him off balance. The junkie landed at the bottom of the stairs, his outstretched arms the only thing stopping him from smacking his face into the step.
“You better share,” she said, standing over Earl.
He glared up at her. “You better be careful, woman.” He climbed to his feet and turned to leave.
Jadee punched him as hard as she could in the back of the head. “You better share with me."

Well...that was MUCH shorter than even I realized...oh well. Take from it what you will.

I want to chime in with this:

I think THIS is hella-smart, professional-grade promotion on an author's part because you're not rushing to publishing. I cannot imagine a book published with a few reviews to its credit will hurt you when you finally put it out for sale and hope it gives this book more visibility and buzz as a reward for your patients.

Blessings aside, I need to work through a few other ARCs BUT I do love me some zombie and want to do you a solid here because I have mad respect for your professionalism. If you don't mind giving me a bit of time to finish a few other books, I'll certainly review for you :D

Part of why I'm doing it this way, what's the worst that happens? I get my book in front of a few hundred eyes, and people tell me it sucks.

Wonderful! Thanks, Riley :D

Picked up a few reviews by now, and people either love it or hate it! I'm still looking for reviewers, but I'll be quitting once I hit 100 books out!

You keep that attitude up, sir! Proactive authors should be rewarded and this is on my tbr - I've just had some personal issues affecting my life and it's left precious little time/mood for reading :(

Still looking for a few more reviews to this, have at least 5 or 6 more arcs to give out. Just let me know if you'd like to review it, and I'll get you a file of your type asap! #SupportIndieAuthors!

Just stopping by to say this is my last call for reviewers before I go dark for awhile. Shooting for 100 honest reviews is proving more tiring than one would imagine! Still, if you'd like a copy to R4R just drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do for you! #SupportIndieAuthors!

I'm still looking for more reviews, at 20 but I still need 80 more to hit my goal. Some people love it, some people hate it, but I love honest reviews. I'd love to have yours!

Thank you Courtney for the review, I'd love to find some more people! If you're interested, just send me a PM!

You are most welcome :)

how many pages is it? I'm really busy at the moment but I could squeeze in a novella, anything less than 150 pages should be ok

D

It's about 90 pages. Shoot me your email, and preferred file type, and I'll get it right to you!

Just dropping by to say I'm still seeking reviews! About halfway to my goal of a hundred, and I would love to have your honest opinion.
If you'd like a copy, just drop a message here, or send me a PM, and I'll get back to you asap!

Would you be able to post a longer sample? What's already there was okay but it wasn't grabbing me. :-/

The first chapter is a little intense, and really sets the pace for the whole book. There's a reason I only posted to the first curse word, there's quite a few more after that!

Only 38 more reviews and I hit my goal of a hundred! I'd love to have your honest review of my book. Just drop me a message here, or send me a PM, and I'll gladly get back to you!

Alright Riley,
I'm in! My interest is peeked now Lol. Send me a copy @ AmadeusAnubis@netzero.net

Haha! I Knew my persistence would pay off!

Hi Riley, just stumbled upon this thread. I see you published your book earlier this month according to the Goodreads page? Couldn't find it on Amazon, and was curious how the year of review seeking went for you. I've always found it frustrating that Amazon doesn't allow advanced reviews on a book's page, unless done by a Vine Reviewer, something that seems to make it really difficult to coordinate with people kind enough to read a book before the date. Did you find a way to navigate around this? Are you emailing people who've reviewed on Goodreads to let them know the Amazon page is now up and running?

Just curious. In any case, best of luck. Hope you've been happy with your results.

It hasn't been put into stores yet, should be the end of may/start of june.
Still, my plan is to contact reviewers and ask they move the review over. Whether they will of not is still to be seen!
Btw, keep an eye on my blog as I plan to write a set of blogs about the entire process.

Ah, that explains why I couldn't find it there. I will definitely keep an eye out for your blog. Very interested to see how it all goes.

Thanks for your response.

Getting closer to the release date, and I would really like to add your review to the ones I've already collected! Just drop me a PM, or leave a message here, and I'll get back to you ASAP!

Still seeking reviews, I'd really love yours! Just leave a message and I'll happily send a copy your way.

I'm just stopping by to bump my thread! Still seeking honest reviews.

Hey Riley, I'll bite. Do you still have my email address?

I sure do Yolanda, and I'm shooting you an email now.

Just dropping in to say I'm still looking for reviews. If you would like a copy, send me a message and I'll get back to you!

I picked up a couple of more reviews the last time I asked, but I am still seeking! If you would like a copy just drop a message here, or send me a PM and I'll get back to you ASAP!

This will be my last call for reviewers! If you would like an ARC copy of Everyone Dies At The End shoot me a pm here, or leave a message below, and I will get a hold of you asap. E-copies only.

How's the reviewer process going Riley? Sounds like it must be good if this is Your last call. I still have to read your book and I'm looking forward to it.

Best of luck with those final reviews.
