My Friends,

I have a favor to ask of you. I hired a company to send out a large number of bulk e-mails for me advertising The Immortal. I made the mistake of putting the order page in the ad for Amazon.com. Consequently, a number of irate, oversensitive, thin skinned egos went to my page there and posted one star negative comments on the book even though most of them haven't even read it.

The company that sends them out for me only sends one per person. I could understand their negativity if I was hitting them once a week or more the way numerous Spammers do me, but one single short message should be no big deal. In fact it is appreciated by many more than those who complained.

I did receive over 1000 positive replies and am sending them information on my web page; thus it does seem a worthwhile project. The problem is that when people now go to Amazon the first six reviews they see are these irate comments that have nothing to do with the book.

If you have not reviewed the book yet for Amazon and wish to help, I would much appreciate it if you were to post a positive review at:

Once we get half dozen new reviews they will then precede the negative ones so the potential buyer will at least get a positive first impression as they have in the past.
