In honour of my newly arrived Kindle (and the fact that a cheque from Amazon is due any week now that should cover it and the ammunition) I am offering to exterminate up to 20 BBoSs (US Amazon site only--I am prevented from acting against UK and DE BBoSs by reason of my nationality. Unfair, perhaps, but there it is). At this number of exterminations, I'm limited to $2.99 or under jobs. If there is an extreme case, I may go take a stab at $3.99 or above, but don't count on it.
So, if you are still being taunted by a US BBoS simply post to this thread and (if you are among the first 20) I'll exterminate the pest.
I'll make the attempt to read all 20 within what's left of the year (I don't read much when I'm writing so this may not be possible for me). Any genre is welcome though, if the story contains a lot of gore and horror, I don't promise I'll finish it. If it is very well-written horror I can practically guarantee that I won't. No matter, I won't discriminate against a horror-BBoS.
If you have more than one book and have a preference as to which method I use to enact the extermination, indicate this in the body of your post. I don't promise to abide by your preference if another title interests me more, but I will take it into account.
If you desire feedback, indicate this also. Again, no promises. And by feedback, I mean exactly that, not necessarily an Amazon review. Remember, if you ask, that you're asking for feedback from a SF&F author and his opinion may be worth zilch for other genres or for YA or children's books. Heck, his opinion may be worth zilch, anyway.
This operation goes under the honour system; please, only those with true US BBoSs.
[In case the writing above is confusing: I am offering to buy one of your books should you have failed to sell any book in the US Amazon site thus far this month--and thus have the Beige bar in your reports section that states: 'No sales to report during this period'. If you have more than one book and would prefer that I purchase a particular one, tell me which you would prefer I buy. I will attempt to abide by your preference. Please, books $2.99 or less.] [Plain English is no fun.]
Looking forward to reading from various genres, so: Let the massacre begin!
[Edited to add: If I get a fair number of $0.99 jobs, I may increase the number of BBoSs I'm willing to exterminate.]
