Hi, Guys!  I have a little news that is exciting for me and I am really going to need your help to pull it off.

Have you heard of the Kindle Scout program?  No?  Well, simply put, it allows the reader the opportunity to read a few chapters of a new, unpublished book and vote for the book if they enjoy it and want to read more.  If the book gets enough votes, then it might be considered for an Amazon publishing contract.  That’s a really attractive offer to me as a writer because I want to reach as many readers as possible.

So, I am delaying the publication of my new book, O’CEAGAN’S LEGACY in favor of submitting to the Scout program.  I have gotten notice that my book has been accepted and will be available for readers to preview and vote on as of February 11, this Thursday at 12:01 a.m. EST. Over the 30 days after it launches, you can cast a vote for the book, talk to your friends about it, encourage them to read it and vote, then pass it on to their friends.  Post the link on Facebook.  Tweet it!  Spread the word however you can.

If we’re successful and the book is selected by Amazon for publication, I will be an extremely happy writer.  What’s in it for you?  I heard you ask that.  Well, if my book wins a contract, you get a free Kindle copy of the book for voting for it.  You will also have my gratitude and I will happily say, “Best tribe ever!”

I will be posting the link for O’CEAGAN’S LEGACY when it goes live on Scout on February 11.

So I hope I can count on you to help me to have a successful launch by taking the time to do this, passing the information along to your friends and letting people know about the program.  It’s a win-win for all of us.
