There are two weeks left in the ABNA contest. My entry, Captured by Crystal, is in the semi-finals, and the next cutoff, the point at which they cut the field from 1,000 to 100, is two weeks away. I’m not trying to strongarm anyone into a review, but there are a few that mentioned they were going to do so – some had said they’d already read it – but I didn’t really specify much about timeframes.
Hence this post.
For the reviews to really matter, I think they’d have to be entered in the next week or so. I’ll button my lip until the cutoff date, but for those of you that tackle the read and leave me a review, I thank you. And hopefully I’ll have good news to report on the 19th.
Thanks, everyone!
I really apologize for not having done your review yet. Things in my life have been chaotic. But I’ll do it by tomorrow evening at the very latest, I promise.
Good luck to you, Brad!
Thanks, Shveta. The post wasn’t a complaint, just sort of a status/reminder. I would hate to have people basically ready to give reviews and then have a deadline pass and make them less useful or useless to the voting process. Thanks so much if you find the time. And that’s ok if you’re too busy.
What happened what happened what happened? Have you heard anything?
Sigh. Unfortunately CbC didn’t make it to the next round. I’m sure it was right on the cusp
That’s ok, though. I’m glad I entered and people got to see a bit of the book. And you never know, someone over at Penguin might take a look and get interested. At least, that’s what I tell myself when I get down about it.
Dear Brad,
Perfect Circle is slatted for release November 15 by Random House.
Now I’m back at the grindstone, working, struggling, writing, working, you know the score. Meantime, I’ve just posted my new website, http://www.carlosjcortes.com and I hope you like it.
Any news on Captured by Crystals? I tried to reach you at your old address but it’s no longer operative.
Take care,
Carlos
