Well, surprise, surprise! A reader of my last blog discovered that three chapters of my novel Mariah’s Ark can be downloaded at Amazon.com for free… it seems I’ve made it to the Quarterfinals of the contest, one of 500 entries out of most likely 10,000 turned in (they only accepted the first 10,000). That puts me in the top 5%, doesn’t it? (I’m not very good at math… that’s why I write instead).

I knew I’d been reviewed by experts (that discovery was in my last blog), but I had no idea anyone else could read the first chapters. I also had no idea that meant I’d made it to the next level. Three people have reviewed the book so far, too, so I must have made it to a second level, or I don’t think the chapters would even be available. (Sorry, but I’m still so surprised, I’m not sure if I’ll discover I’ve made a mistake tomorrow).

So, if you’d like to know what I’m tooting my horn about, check out the page right HERE. You can download the chapters for free, and even leave a review of them. If nothing else, I’d like your feedback. I haven’t had enough people read the book yet, so every bit helps. And I’d really like to know what all of you think, too, since you are my loyal readers…

You’d think I’d be quicker at all of this. I must be jaded by all my lack of response over the years (except for the lovely photocopied form letters rejecting my submissions). I think the next level happens on April 15, so you have time to read and respond, but the sooner the better! You can create a review on Amazon.com yourself, so I know what you think.

Thanks to all who read part of “Mariah’s Ark”! I’m so excited!
