yeah posting what i like best...only i don't drink it green

Made it to PA. Almost got into a wreck when someone pulled into my lane without looking. I have quick reflexes luckily but now my neck is a mess again. Sigh.


As for the how to vote issue... i got this from my friend D. My understanding is that you post a review of the excerpt you read on Amazon.com, just like you were reviewing a movie or book or other product you got from Amazon.com, and the star rating counts as a vote for your work. That’s what I did, anyway. Wouldn’t it be a heck of a lot easier if they just put a little “Vote!” button next to your excerpt?

yeah it would be easier. gonna poke around the site to see if I can find anything more about it but until then there you go and thanks


okay a direct link to my excerpt

Here's a working link for the main Breakthrough Novel Award page (http://amazon.com/abna).

"Voting" now isn't really official - what the editors over at Penguin think is what counts. The user ratings/reviews might tilt one excerpt over another if there are some close ones.

Formal voting is May 15, but by then it'll be down to 3.
