If sales from this past January were any indication, a lot of people get Kindles for Christmas. While yes, I'm sure some of them enter the first of the year like well-intentioned gym memberships that are gathering dust by March, people go nuts on their Kindles when they first get them.
As reviews are everything on Amazon and I (and a shit-ton of other indie writers - including some other CHUD posters) are competing with the big boys who are able to hire phalanxes of fake reviewers to pad their reviews sections, I am asking for a favor. If you have read any of my Kindle stories over the last year and a half and can be obliged to wing over to Amazon, log in and write even a couple of sentences in a review (ie. "FUCK THIS IDIOT - DOGS SUCK!!! ZERO STARS OUT OF A GOOGLE!!!!!!"), hey, you'd have my sincere appreciation (worth $.04 in 2028 money).

Thanksing you in advance.
And I should add: I'm actually serious about the negative reviews, too. There's nothing worse than, say, a new Patricia Cornwell or Michael Connelly novel that comes out and had sixty five-star reviews anointing it the second coming three days before the book hits shelves.
