Goodreads Giveaway!

Hey, for those of you who belong to Goodreads, I'm giving away 20 copies of The Vanilla Gigolo Prescription at the end of this month.  You can get to Goodreads from clicking right over there (points to the right).

Now, you're thinking one of two things:

"Giving away 20 copies?! Ridiculous! What a great opportunity for me to perhaps win a copy of this 'sarcastic noir', gratis!"

-or-

"Giving away 20 copies?! Ridiculous! I just bought one yesterday/last week/last month! Norrett's a jerk!"

Both reactions are valid, I suppose. Allow me to respond to each specifically. To the first, I say:

"You got that right! Enter to win, check out the excerpt I've put on my author's page, maybe take a chance and buy one anyway!"

To the second, I say:

"You got that right! I gotta get myself out there, you know? Goodreads is a huge site populated by a lot of people, so anything I can do, you know? I mean, the giveaway's only been offered for a day and (checking) 74 people have signed up. Now, certainly, these people like getting free things; I know I do, you know? But. You gotta think some of them might take a chance and buy the book, you know?"*

*I grant the second response may seem like a rationalization. And that I've hammered the "you know?" conceit.

If you're a member of Goodreads, read the novel, enjoyed it, and feel like leaving a review, (trying to keep from emitting a begging tone) please feel free!

If you're not, my goodness, why not? Why on Earth not? It's a fantastic site.

Hope you're enjoying your week.
