Promotedness, Copasetic, and Glaukenstucken

From what I’ve read in publishing, author, and reader forums, a lot of folks utilize the “Liked” counter when making their decisions to purchase books at Amazon. It seems to me that the people so influenced would be the ones who arrive at my book’s Amazon page after searching for books of a certain genre. In my case, they might be searching at goodreads or Library Thing or Amazon or the like for genres or subgenres such as mystery, thriller, suspense, or romantic suspense, or niches such as serial killer or high quality murder books destined for decades of greatness.

If you have read By the Light: A Novel of Serial Homicide and liked it or have not yet read it but would like to help promote it, I am providing the following guide to register your “promotedness.” (I like to make up at least one new word for nearly everything I write. Who knows? One day I might earn reference in the Merriam-Webster for a word such as copasetic, meaning “very satisfactory” and often erroneously attributed to Bill Robinson (AKA Mr. Bojangles) or glaukenstucken, meaning “feelings of guilt for having had previous feelings of schadenfreude and fictitiously attributed to the Melanie Lynskey’s character, Rose, on the TV sitcom, Two and a Half Men.)

To exercise your “promotedness,” go to this address:

Then click on the “Liked” button at the right of the 4.5 stars and the link to 11 customer reviews. You can see the orangish button with the thumbs-up icon on it in the example below
Your kind assistance with the promotion of my novel will be most earnestly appreciated. Please have a lovely day on me.
