Lenita Sheridan | 1010 comments Hi Heather,

As I said above, I'm a children's fantasy author. My email address is mrsgcraftlady@hotmail.com. If you'd like to know more about my books, my website is: http://lenitasheridan.com. Email me if you'd like to review them. There are two short ones. I have them in mobi or epub (sorry no PDF).


message 7: by Michael (new)

Michael Scott | 1 comments Hi Heather,
I am a Remote Area Registered Nurse and after 20 years have written about some of my more memorable experiences. My book is about how things are not how they should be so it 's not going to be a favorite of people looking for happy endings or politicians looking for a pat on the back but will be insightful for those interested in Aboriginal cultures and the Registered Nurse's role there. I can always use one more review. I would be happy to send a free copy to you.

Angela (angelanicoara) | 1 comments Greetings from Transylvania,

I’m delighted to announce that my first book will be published in just four weeks! ‘Loving an Alien’ is a collection of intimate interviews with women who married foreigners. I ask them about their love for, and life with, an ‘alien’ man. All of their stories are inspiring, some are very funny, some are heartbreaking. These are brave women who crossed the cultural divide, despite the odds.

If you’d like to read ‘Loving an Alien’, I’ll be happy to send you a free e-copy. In return, all I ask is that you post a short and honest review on Amazon on Saturday June 18. That’s the day my book comes out. I want to launch it with as many reviews as possible and I would really appreciate your help with this. Are you in? If so, please drop me a line. No previous experience of aliens is required!

I hope to hear from you. My address is angela.nicoara@gmail.com
Thank you and best wishes,
Angela


message 9: by Deborah (new)

Deborah Dixon (deboracracy) | 18 comments Hi Heather! I write fantasy/paranormal, and would be glad to send you a copy of the first book in the Illuminated series, Fiat Lux, if you'd like to review it and post said review on Goodreads. Message/email me via Goodreads if you're in! Thanks!


message 10: by Antara (new)

Antara Mann | 23 comments Hi Heather,
I just wrapped up Alice in Sinland: A Story of Murder, Greed... Violence, Adultery and TreasureAlice in Sinland: A Story of Murder, Greed... Violence and Adultery, which is a bit similar. It's like The Good Wife meets Smash or Glee. You can view the book on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DFBB4Q4
I do think you will enjoy it, and would love to offer you a free copy. It's about Alice Roseburg who wanted her name on everyone's lips but instead got pure sin. It's a modern spin on the Faustian myth of selling your soul to the devil. In other words -- a supernatural, contemporary suspense novel.

If I piqued your interest, please shoot me an email at antaraman9@gmail.com
Thanks!

Sincerely,
Antara

Matthew | 28 comments Hi

I have a new release, The Bumpkinton Tales: Volume One, a collection of 5 humorous short stories and novella set in a village packed with an array of weird and wonderful characters.

It's very British in its humour and the stories vary from new beginnings to a sex crazed ladies' man arriving for Singles Night.

If this sounds like your thing just pop me a Private Message with your email and I''ll send a PDF copy for review.

Matt

A.J. Burke (authorajburke) | 3 comments Hey guys! I really need some people to review my new release. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going to include a blurb to see if anyone would be interested. You can reach me directly via email at authorajburke@gmail.com if you are interested. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you so much in advance!

Ever since Gabriel Foster started working at Demerchant Industries, he’d been fighting his attraction to his enigmatic boss, Sébastien Demerchant.

During a Christmas party at Sébastien’s mansion, Gabriel discovers his feelings might be returned. But everything is not as it appears, and Gabriel’s world will be turned upside down in the process.


This is the second book in a series, but can be read as a standalone. No cliffhangers, HEA guaranteed.


message 25: by Robert (new)

Robert Beers | 23 comments I am a GR author, and allow me to put out a pet peeve regarding review requests. First, this email landed this morning:
Hi,
I hope you are well. I am a 23 year old student of English literature. I love reading new and exciting books. Right now I am on a break from college so I am accepting book review requests. I read all genres. If you want to get your book reviews please contact me.

Regards,

Cheryl

If this is a student, I'm an ostrich. It's a phishing attempt. But onto my peeve. No one reads "all genres". A request for reviewing should include a bit about what genres are enjoyed
at least. Even better, how about well known authors you liked. This way a writer is not pitching their work into a black hole.

I also review, but I do so rarely, and when I do, it is about a book I thought I would enjoy because I did some checking first.

Rant over

Ann Howes (goodreadscom_ann_howes) | 3 comments Yeah, I got the same email. GRRR. Good thing I ignored it.


message 27: by Catherine (new)

Catherine McCarthy | 11 comments Me too. Exact same.


message 28: by Maryann (new)

Maryann (maryannwrites) | 50 comments There are so many of these phishing emails that I just delete them all.


message 29: by David (new)

David Cuff | 29 comments Yes, and me. I had it too.


message 30: by Ruth (new)

Ruth O'Neill | 36 comments I got it too.


message 31: by Blaine (new)

Blaine Wright | 12 comments My novel is solid epic historical fiction with an ancient native American lore foundation. I call it Historical Mysticism as coined by a beta reader. It fits and I think the tale is a bit unique.

White Bird Book One: Among the Nez Perce

I would welcome reviews and can make the PDF available free on google docs.

My email is blaine.wright58@gmail.com

Yes I've had this one contact me twice. So annoying.
Most of them say, they don't have a kindle unlimited account so you have to email them.
