I know you have a lot on your mind, and you probably have a lot on your proverbial plate.
I know there are things you need help with also.
But this is my request:
Share.
Writers face a lot of competition these days. They not only face competition from other writers; they also face competition from television, internet, movies, and music. They face competition from school, work, sports, and recreation. And so on.
Any author needs help from their readers...
A debut author needs even more help.
I have said over and over on this site that I will never tell someone they will love my book; I will never tell someone my book is right for them; I will never assume I know what someone will enjoy reading. But I will ask for help.
I am asking for help right now...
If you have read an advance copy of The Great Lenore, and you enjoyed it, help spread the word. Use your Twitter. Use your facebook. Use Goodreads and Amazon and your email and your mouth.
If you have read the six page sample of The Great Lenore, and you have become excited for the release of the book, let people know.
Some people will love The Great Lenore.
Some people will not.
But none of these people will know until they read it. And none of these people will be able to read it until they know the book exists.
I ask you again:
Share.
It takes a lot less time to share than it took you to read this post (and I doubt it took you long to read this post!). Please, do what you can to help. Let's make sure people know The Great Lenore exists.

Thank you. Seriously. To each of you who takes one moment of your life to share one (or both) of these links on your Friendface or Jitter, I am endlessly grateful.
And to each of you who takes a bit more time to share on your blog/website/wherever, my gratitude stretches somewhere beyond that place where the horizon disappears.
Keep writing.
Keep reading.

Play nice and share with others

I'm looking forward to reading your book and, since I personally know how important word-of-mouth is, I shared to both my Twitter and Facebook accounts.
