Topic: The Kurdish Connection - Two Great Reviews! (17 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Just getting started with The Kurdish Connection and have two great reviews to share with you:
Outstanding Debut 5-Star!
Very apropos to today & Randy really knows his stuff. Well-written and thought-provoking. Worth every second of reading time. Get your copy today! This is an outstanding debut. I hope to read more from this author.
Great Book - 5 Star!
Outstanding book. I read this with interest from from the first page. The characters are completely believable and the setting can only be described as "war torn". Once you start it, you can't put it down.

Hi Ann,
Many thanks.
I understand what you're saying. However, I have Canadians friends who are happy to take the books back home with them and mail them on my behalf. From the nearest Barnes and Noble, it's about two miles to the bridge to Canada. Still, perhaps I should modify my comment.
Regards, Randy

Randy, the "Look inside" feature of the book on Amazon doesn't seem to be working. Might check that out.
Many thanks, Jack. I was told that could still take a few days but if it's not active by morning, I'll pass this along to the publisher. I noticed they're still working on the B&N entries. Regards, Randy

Many thanks, Cobber.
You can order from either Amazon or me, whichever you prefer. From me you'll get a signed copy. I should receive my order early next week.

The URL ends with April-Chastain-Ingrigue/dp/1537186833/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1475459745&sr=8-2&keywords=wilted+magnolias
From 'ref=' onward you have info about where the link came from, etc. Some of it may tell Amazon if it came from a link that earns a commission. The query part (including, I think, the alphabet-encoding spec utf8, tells Amazon what the original lookup was. They can use that if the book is not found, or to provide additional items for display.
Just checked how Bitly created my shortcut and it does show all of the information when it is used. If Amazon keys on this, then it's probably better to use a longer link but stop after the ASIN. Dropping the information after the ASIN still takes me to where I want to go.

I looked at your responses to my review of chapter six. I pointed things out that caught my attention as I read. Since these comments don't seem to help, I'm not sure if further reading will be of benefit to you and will just waste my time.
