Semi-finalist in Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Contest

[Julie Ann Shapiro]

Hi Everyone,
I'm so excited. My second novel, Three Drop Pennies made the semi-finals in Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Contest. They're having kind of an American Idol like contest for the semi-finalists. Please read the novel excerpt and join in the fun. If you post a review there's a chance to win prices.

Here's the link on the novel http://www.amazon. com/dp/B00121WE64

Also, here's more info on Amazon's contest. http://www.amazon. com/b?node=332264011

I never heard about this contest before. It's great to see at least two of Book Place's authors in with a great chance.

Best of luck.

Karina,
Thanks for your support. If you have time take a peak at our excerpts. We need reviews as this kind of an American Idol like thing for novels.

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your support. At this point I'm focusing more on marketing my first novel that's published. I've lost my enthusiasm for Amazon's contest even though my second novel is in the contest. I don't think the contest is well organized. Most of the PW reviews, including mine did not understand the genre and made wrong assumptions.
