Book cover contest going on over at Authorsdb...and I just know ya'll want to vote for me...give my cover 5 stars, and maybe leave a nice, fat, tasty comment...

Here's the link for those so inclined...

AUTHORSdB - Cover Contest - I Often Wonder: a collection of poetry and prose
http://www.authorsdb.com/book-cover-awards/other/i-often-wonder-a-collection-of-poetry-and-prose-256

It might not be obvious how to vote, but where it says "Image Rating" there is a little green arrow pointing down...click on the arrow, and the stars will magically appear... happy8

I'm also aware that the link to my author page isn't working...where it says "Visit Author's Page" should be an active link...I replied to this tweet yesterday about that...and nice to know my publicity efforts are working btw...I posted about this in a couple of groups over on Facebook yesterday btw...

Alright, the link to my author page is now working...and here it is btw...

I'd like to mention it not just to encourage sales of my own work, which would be wonderful...but, note what I have listed under Website...yes my friends, my page here on this fine site known throughout the world as Stories Space...

I don't have my own website, and don't plan on having one anytime soon...or anytime not so soon for that matter...so, I use my page here as my website on a number of sites, such as Twitter, and several poetry sites, for instance...

I mention this because I happen to know that a number of people here are looking for ways to divert more traffic to their stuff here on SS, and this is one way to do it...so, you don't really need to have your own book out to have a reason to create a page over on AUTHORSdB...

Just my little two cents of advice for today my SS friends... happy8

Btw, if you click on the link to my author profile over on AUTHORSdB you will see something really cool towards the bottom...a Badge...

Yes my friends, they do indeed have a selection of badges over there...something in common with this fine site, and that alone should be good reason to join up and post your info...you too could be sporting a new badge like myself...

Yeah, got notice of my Top 10 Badge earlier today...

Just sort of bumping this one...note that I am now Featured Author of the Week over here, and btw...I know I mentioned it before, but there is a cover contest going on...it'll be going on all year btw...so, if you feel real generous today, you can give my cover a nice, fat, juicy 5-star vote...you have to click on the green arrow next to where it says "Image Rating" in order to vote...I know that's not immediately obvious, but such is life...

Feel free to enter your own covers btw...eBooks are welcome as well...I forget what you win...I think it's a year of free publicity or something, which could be potentially lucrative...

Yeah, got this notice earlier today...and another Badge should be forthcoming soon... happy8

Congratulations,

Your cover is in the semi-finals of the 2013 Book Cover Contest at AUTHORSdB.com. Over the next couple of days, we will be contacting authors who's book covers were entered into the 2013 Book Cover Contest and have qualified as a semi-finalist in one or more categories.

Please forward a large, clear image (minimum 800 pixels wide) and a blurb (300 minimum - 1000 word maximum) by replying to this email, pasting the blurb and attaching the image before October 31, 2013.

We know that this is an exciting time for authors, and we hope to ensure all authors are contacted prior to the promotion of your qualification into the semi-finals until all authors have been notified.

To maximize the full impact of the promotion, please take a moment and visit your author's page to ensure all covers are uploaded, and content is up-to-date. We will notify you prior to the semi-final voting start date.

Enjoy the extra exposure and best of luck,

Just want to mention that I actually made the No. 1 most viewed spot a couple of weeks back, and out of over 4100 authors on the site now I might add...though how that happened I have not a clue... dontknow

Anyway...I now have a totally cool No. 1 badge on my Authorsdb page...check it out my friends...

This is what the badge looks like btw...

Yeah...your guess is as good as mine here as to how I made the top spot my friends...but I did get this notification on January 17, 2015...and the next day I was back down to 155 or something btw...
