Not going to ask.

Not going to ask people to buy my book this time.

Nah, uh.  Nope.  

Going to announce TUSKERS publication, and that's that.

But I ain't going to ask.  No sir.

Not going to ask people to buy TUSKERS on Amazon in the first week, even though sales in that first week have a huge effect on the ongoing sales of the book.  Amazon is the big kahuna, the 500 pound canary in the mine, or whatever you want to call it.  If I can get up the rankings by having a good first week, it has a huge effect on the algorythms.

Not going to ask.

Nope, nada.  Not going to do it.

Not going to ask even though I think there is a really good chance the book could do well. Becoming a bestseller on Amazon really isn't as hard as you might think.  A bunch of sales consolidated in a concise timespan -- say the 12th of January thru the 19th of January -- sales my book may garner anyway over a longer period -- well, that can have an outsized effect on the rankings.

But I'm not going to ask.

Not going do it.

Not going to ask, even though I think this is a very fun book that most people would enjoy.  I've not felt this confident about a book ever.

But I ain't going to do it.

Please, people, don't throw me in that briar patch of having to ask.

TUSKERS, by Duncan McGeary.  Released on Amazon on January 12, 2015.
