ABNA Quarter-Finalist Excerpts Available for Review

The 2011 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (ABNA) quarter-finalist excerpts are available for review.  To navigate, first cut & paste this Amazon link into your web browser:  http://www.amazon.com/Breakthrough-Novel-Award-Books/b/ref=amb_link_355508162_1?ie=UTF8&node=332264011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=top-1&pf_rd_r=0T19V4V63CHE161VRFH4&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_p=1290344662&pf_rd_i=ABNA

Then, on the left side of the page, you'll see a block called, "Quarter-Finalists by Category."  There, you can download the excerpts you're interested in & provide a review.  For my novel, THE COMING, click on "Thriller and Suspense" and it's #13 (lucky, huh?)

In order to download and review, you'll need two things:  1) an Amazon.com account, and 2) a Kindle reader.  For the Kindle, Amazon provides free PC readers available for download (I downloaded mine last night).  You'll have to click on "Buy Now" to get the excerpt file (don't worry...it's free!)

Now, if you start to read it and find what look like spelling/format mistakes (like words stuck together)...IT's NOT MY FAULT!  Well...not ALL my fault.  Entrants (that's me, heh) had to paste their 5K-word excerpts into a text block...and it completely messed-up all the formatting & spacing.  It took me about 45 minutes to go through & correct what I saw, but apparently I missed some!  Didn't seem to hurt my reviews, though, so I think they must've taken it into account!
