Write-In Campaign!!
This being Election Day, it seems an appropriate day to ask my readers this week for a HUGE favor: (besides voting… please vote!)
This week- (Nov 3 -8) – Goodreads is accepting nominations for its Choice Awards for 2014.
They allow write-in nominations, and the top FIVE vote-getters become official nominees. They combine votes with number of ratings in order to pick the top 5.
One category is:
BEST DEBUT GOODREADS AUTHOR OF 2014
A nomination in that category would mean so much to me, and could significantly boost the success of my novel.
So please, PLEASE, if you read my book and liked it:
1. Go to Goodreads.com and register if you are not already a member. Goodreads is a book review website owned by Amazon.
2. Give “Just What I Always Wanted” a nice rating. The reviews on Amazon have been amazing (thank you), but I could use some additional ratings on Goodreads in order to qualify.
Here’s the link for the Ratings. Goodreads Rating for “Just What I Always Wanted”
3. Then: Go to the this link for Best Debut Goodreads Author of 2014 and write-in:
“Just What I Always Wanted”
NOTE: You have to register with Goodreads in order to be able to write in a vote.. otherwise you get the 15 predetermined nominees, but not the space at the bottom for a write-in. But registering is EASY!!!
It’s a long, long, LONG shot – but Life itself is a long shot – so – why not???
Thank you !!!!

You got it! Governor? Think bigger. Then memoir.

Thanks. And it would have to be Governor first before memoir.. since my life has been pretty ordinary so far. If most of my blog posts are about makeup, I haven’t had much of a life… yet…

Wonderful! Thank you so much. I know I haven’t a prayer against books with 5,000 reviews, but if I could get on the same page, my visibility would go up astronomically!
