Hi all,

My wife spent years supporting me while I tried to make the olympic trials so I'm returning the favor...

She recently entered her novel in a large contest on amazon.com and made the quarterfinals (top 500 of 10,000 entries). While the selection of the 100 semifinalists will rely on judges, it is clear they will be influenced by how many people download the sample of her book and also the favorable reviews.

While I admit the genre will not be your typical read (though your teenage daughters would like it) I want to ask you to take a couple minutes to go to the link at the bottom of this and do the free download of my wife's book sample. You'll need an amazon.com account to do this, it took me about 2 minutes to get one because I didn't have one until I downloaded it.

She was ranked #3 (of 500!) 2 days ago and is now down to #13 -- your help is greatly appreciated.
