I'm going to take a page from the marketing playbook of my friend and fellow author, James Roy Daley (and, don't forget - he's a Rockstar!) and run the following contest. Post a review on Amazon (I'm going to limit it to the USA branch) of Dying to Live: Life Sentence, between now and, let's say, my birthday on March 7, 2009, and you'll have a chance to win -

A signed copy of the ultra rare chapbook, Thin Them Out (Creeping Hemlock, 2008), written by me, along with Julia and RJ Sevin.

I'll pick the winner at random, from among the reviews posted in the next two weeks.

Good luck!!

I have very seldom seen a good idea I didn't steal. It's a gift.

Why don't you pick your favourite review instead of at random?

Someone could post 'Good book bout zombies innit!' and beat a masterful paragraph about living in a Duane Jones afterworld.

That's true. I was wondering about setting a minimum word threshhold. But I thought random would make it clear that bad reviews would have an equal chance. (Though the group should be self selecting - why enter a contest to win something by someone you gave a bad review to?)
