I need a favor lounge lizards, especially if you love books...I'm here to ask for your vote

and your support for a friend of mine.
Amazon.com announced yesterday the novel POE by J. Lincoln Fenn has won the Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror category in the 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards.
POE is one of 5 finalists in the contest (one winner from each of the five fiction categories, General Fiction, Mystery & Thriller, Romance, Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror, Young Adult) out of over 10,000 total submissions.
The final winner will be announced June 15, 2013.
The voting is open and I would like your support for her and her novel.
J. Lincoln Fenn is a friend of mine and this wonderful book deserves every vote but you can download the excerpts for free and see for yourself. If you like Neil Gaiman and/or Buffy the Vampire Slayer you will love it.
You will be supporting a great writer and good person.

I may have to read each one before I can vote.

Although... I must admit, I have no interest in reading Ken Moraff's book since the subject doesn't do it for me.

Good luck to your friend!

didn't need to read it. TeamPooka's rec is good enough for me. Although it does sound interesting and I will read it anyway.

You know how much I believe in the power of these contests.

Even when they get you involved with lawyers who move like molasses.

I've been reading Wool, which is the darling of sci-fi self pubs. It's pretty good, and I'm impressed at its legs. Gives us pioneers hope.

Off to download.
