One Plus Two Minus One

by Tess Mackenzie

Hey, this is Tess. Sigh. Don’t bother scrolling back to the cover, I wrote the book okay?

  So the internet marketing guru people say I should do this, and I’m going to. Because they may be right. Even though I suspect that if you can read, you can probably work out that sometimes people write more than one book, and go look for them on your own.

  But I’ll make it easy.

  I have a website blogy kind of thing. It has stories on it sometimes, and deleted scenes from this book, and some other bits and pieces. I’ll say stuff about what I’m writing there now and then. Do come and visit. It’s here.

  I wrote some other stuff too. There’s a book. There’s some stories listed here as well.

  Um. Big favor to ask, if you’ve read this far. If you like a story and only if you’re not embarrassed to do this could you leave a rating or a review or whatever on the website you got it from? Those same internet marketing gurus say it’s a big deal for emerging authors, and I should ask you to. Because it lets other people decide whether to try my work, and moves me up searches too, on some websites. I’d be really grateful, and it might actually help more readers find me.

  And thank you for reading this. Like I keep saying at every chance, I’m really, really fucking grateful to all of you out there, and I’m really pleased and flattered that people are actually interested in reading what I write, and I’m even more of those things to everyone who’s throwing money in the tip jar as they leave. So thank you.
