re: book review request by award-winning author

Dear Karen,

I'm an award-winning author with a new book of fiction out last month.
Ugly To Start With is a series of thirteen interrelated stories about
adolescence published by West Virginia University Press.

All the stories in my collection have been previously published in
well-regarded print and online literary magazines such as The Iowa
Review, Passager, The Bitter Oleander, Confrontation, Salt River
Review, The Foliate Oak. and The Cortland Review.

Can I interest you in reviewing it?

If you write me back at johnmcummings@aol.com, I can email you a PDF of my book. If you require a bound copy, please ask, and I will forward your reply to my publisher. Or you can write directly to Abby Freeland at:

Abby.Freeland@mail.wvu.edu

My publisher, I should add, can also offer your readers a free excerpt of my book through a link from your blog to my publisher's website:

Here’s what Jacob Appel, celebrated author of
Dyads and The Vermin Episode, says about my new collection: "In Ugly to Start With, set in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, Cummings tackles the challenges of boyhood adventure and family conflict in a taut, crystalline style that captures the triumphs and tribulations of small-town life. He has a gift for transcending the particular experiences to his characters to capture the universal truths of human affection and suffering--emotional truths that the members of his audience will recognize from their own experiences of childhood and adolescence.”

My short stories have appeared in more than seventy-five literary journals, including North American Review, The Kenyon Review, Alaska Quarterly Review, and The Chattahoochee Review. Twice I have been nominated for The Pushcart Prize. My short story "The Scratchboard Project" received an honorable mention in The Best American Short Stories 2007.

I am also the author of the nationally acclaimed coming-of-age novel The Night I Freed John Brown (Philomel Books, Penguin Group, 2009), winner of The Paterson Prize for Books for Young Readers (Grades 7-12) and one of ten books recommended by USA TODAY.

Thank you very much, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Kindly,

John Michael Cummings

You cаn also buy bundle dealѕ, which most radio stations offer,
to decгeasе thе overаll аd coѕt.
While the effectѕ of antеnnа polагіzatіon maу
be interpreted as a reԁuction in the quality οf some rаdio links,
sοme radio designers often make use of this prοperty tο tune аn antenna to thеir neeԁs by restгicting transmisѕion or гeсeption to signаls on a limited number of vectorѕ.
This not only allowѕ listeners to listen to their faνorite MP3 files alоng
with their SIRIUЅ radio; it also letѕ them digitally гecord their favorite rаdio sοngs for instant playback.

It can, however, be pre-ordered, as its release date is in the near future.
Since the controversial introduction of the format in 2003 its
growing popularity now prompts the question of
threat to the traditional test format. Still, Lich King is not devoid
of its flaws. 99 Mac Mini only ships with 1GB of RAM. Their history
timeline details how the greenhouse covered 4,000 square
feet, and in 1976, a 6,000 square foot greenhouse was added.
This miniature machine generates a monthly power of 40 k - Wh and is 36 inches tall.
We actually become happier people. Most visitors on a trip to
Munnar invariably end up at the Tata Tea Museum
and gain some delightful insights into the process of tea making.

Dependency enslaves you, giving others the ultimate power over how you perceive and
feel about yourself. For people from non technical background these things
look like rocket science.

Please supplement charge before use when the battery has been kept for a long time.
As you lift out the screen you'll see it is still attached via a ribbon cable. Pingbatterys battery administration program (BMS) might have the line of Light emitting diodes visible.

These are still mid range skills, and they improve upon other skills with
additional destruction. Once, in the year 1938 a magnetic storm emerged in
the Polar Regions and its terrific brilliance was seen right up
to Africa and Crimea. That's the only way to keep your building safe from further damages and complications.

If you'd like to be experimental with mixed colored tiles, you can put them in a towel then whack them with a hammer. Now that more and more books are being written for vamps, another long time love, I am totally enjoying the new crop of writers who have vamps and magicians as their heroes. The stamp looked as beautiful as Queen Victoria herself.
