Topic: Acknowledgements

I'm in the process of writing the Acknowledgments page for The Sincerest Form of Flattery, scheduled for pre-order on Amazon on April 17, with a release date of May 15. I am including a special mention for all the authors who gave of their time to review the entire novel: Irene Hamilton, Nathan B. Childs, Dagnee, Janet Taylor-Perry, Ann Everett, C.E. Jones, Terri Weiss, Audra Middleton, R.M. Keegan, Eric Krajcik, Debbie Lampi, Jeanne M. Bannon, Judy Suchan, Mike Jackson. If I've forgot someone, please let me know. Also let me know if you'd rather not be mentioned or if you'd like your name be something else or spelled differently. Thanks!  Jack

Re: Acknowledgements

Actually, and technically, we're all world famous, right? TNBW writers live in Europe, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Asia. We got the six continents covered, and I think that qualifies for being world famous! So I better change it to "critically acclaimed." One can be "famous," after all, without being "acclaimed." wink

Well...and I never thought I'd say this...you can add about to be PUBLISHED critically acclaimed author...Ronan got accepted...and I had a good joke ready for when they turned me down..."My novel's so bad, I can't pay anyone to publish it!"

I'm teasing...you're so nice to put my pen name, I really can't ask you for more. And thanks for all the help with Ronan, the editing, encouragement, and the talking down when I was about to trash it. I know I could put this in a private message, but I want everyone to know that not only are you a great author, you're a pretty nice human being. (and I'm not just saying that because we're both progressives...)

Re: Acknowledgements

CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm tickled pink! It's a good thing I'm typing this, because I'm speechless (though you should see the smile on my face)! Way to go, Dags. I knew it would happen. Let's trade autographed copies, okay? No, wait. In order for a review to "count" on Amazon, it has to be from a a verified purchase. So tell me when it will be coming out, and I'll get me one!

Re: Acknowledgements

Was this the one with the opportunistic woman? 

Crap, John.  I love your stuff and know I finished at least one if them, but it's been too long now and I can't remember.  Rest assured I will be downloading on kindle.

Please tell me I can do kindle for your stuff.  Soon it will be imperative.  I'm moving to Germany.

Best of luck on this release!!
Madison

Re: Acknowledgements

Hey, Madison. Moving to Germany now? Wow! Better book sales there? wink Yes, it'll be available on Kindle. Don't think you read that one. But I did get you a mention for The Flame, the book about that conniving woman, though I used the pen name you had at the time. Thanks, and good luck with your book!
