Oops, almost forgot to look this month.  They are all Amazon imprints again.

A New York Times article matches the speech patterns of 13(!) American presidential candidates with the books they sound like. There's a fascinating graphic that puts candidates and books on a sort of coordinate plane grid based on where their language use falls from simple to complex (y axis) and negative to positive (x axis).

Most negative? Rand Paul, who's surrounded by the Aeneid and Oliver Twist.

Most simple? Donald Trump (surprised?), who's next to The Legends of King Arthur and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Hillary's on the positive and complex side of the plane, and most closely matches Austen's Persuasion (which isn't on the grid but is mentioned at the bottom of the article). Ted Cruz is matched with Beowulf.

To an unpublished writer, a positive review or rating is like gold dust. It's a small step in the right direction of getting your work noticed. I've given myself the goal of collecting 100 genuine reviews by the end of 2014. It is for this reason that I am giving The Prediction away for FREE.
There is no obligation to write a positive review if you genuinely don't like it. I do ask you however to read the blurb before downloading the book to see if it is in fact your kind of book.

What do the first 100 Reviewers get in return?

• A free e-copy of The Prediction book to begin with
• If (when!) it is officially published - a free signed physical copy

And well, if I ever make it big and become a bestselling author, trust me when I say the VIP Reviewer list is not something I will easily forget!
