Why 'The Tea Master' excerpt is here for download

The deal: Amazon.com is still not allowing “interational” readers to download and rate the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award quarterfinalists. This is a big problem for me because I’m Canadian, and a lot of the people I would call on to promote The Tea Master are Canadian. I hope they’ll fix this, but, in the meantime I decided I could host my own download, and then international readers can post their reviews like everyone else on The Tea Master page Amazon.com and INTERNATIONAL readers comment here at my blog. Hopefully Amazon will fix this soon, but I didn't want to keep you from enjoying the first pages of my book as soon as possible.


Please DO NOT GIVE OUT COPIES OF THE PDF FILE. It is VERY IMPORTANT that I be able to track how many times the file is downloaded! Give the URL instead. Encourage others to download it, then rate and review it at Amazon (no matter what country you're in). Every review (even a two-worder like "liked it") helps boost me higher in the finals.
