Saying Hello to an Old Friend

That old friend is reviewing.

But, please, if you are an author, do not get too excited! I'm working through BookRooster.com, a site that increases an author's chance of receiving an Amazon review. I receive free Kindle books to review in the following genres (I chose these):

1. Mystery
2. Horror
3. Thriller
4. How-to

My reviews are then added to the book's sale page on Amazon.

By the sounds of it I can work at my own pace which suits me. Please, however, do not ask me privately for a review because I will not accept review requests this way. I used to, but the demand became too high, and I was unable to do any of my own writing.

I may increase the genres of books that I wish to review when I have found my reviewing feet yet again. But, for now, if you are published in the above genres and your book is available on the Kindle and available on Amazon.com, then I could be reviewing your book!

Join Zurker.com

If you are sick and tired of Facebook changing the rules, security settings and the like, then it's time to try a new concept in social networking.

Zurker.com is just that. Something entirely different to many of the networking sites out there. As we all know, social networks are a great way to keep in contact with friends and family, find new friends etc. Privacy on these sites are always a concern. You are often required to fill out your profile which usually tends to include pretty sensitive information like your birthdate.  

Zurker doesn't own you. You own IT! Every member becomes a shareholder of the site. Pretty cool, right?

'At Zurker, you are a co-owner and an investor. You can earn V-shares by referring your friends. The more friends you invite, the more equity you earn. Zurker becomes better, and better, as more people join, increasing in value. As Zurker becomes more valuable, your stake becomes more valuable.


Like any other social network, we ask you to refer your friends. We ask you to do some work. But we make sure you get a slice of the pie in return.' - Zurker.com

Joining Zurker is free, so what have you go to lose? Go on, give it a go :D
