Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award

If you like humorous Sci-Fi, in the tradition of Douglas Adams, please check out my Novel Excerpt & Post Your Review!

My novel, "Death, Inc." has been selected as a Semi-finalist in Amazon’s First “Breakthrough Novel Award” Contest.  It was selected as one of 836 Semi-finalists (out of an International Pool of 5,000 entrants).  The Contest Winner will be largely based on Amazon Customer Reviews of a 5,000 word excerpt, along with a Publisher’s Weekly Review of the Entire Manuscript.

Here's a bit of what Publishers Weekly had to say about "Death, Inc."

“With the air and hilarity of a 1980s Steve Martin film, this dark comedy takes on the premise that the afterlife is managed by a massive, otherworldly corporation.    …the comical retorts, cultural references, and daffy plot twists keep the reader engaged and amused. A dark and light afterlife farce, it's a well paced, brisk novel and, at times, drop-dead funny.”

The Grand Prize Winner of the Contest will receive a Publishing Contract from Penguin Books, along with a $25,000 Advance on Royalties and an impressive electronics package from HP, so it’s really an exciting contest.
