Hi,
Apologies for the off-topic comment, but I couldn’t find a contact email for you.
I recently put out an ebook of my writing, called ‘The New Death and others’. It’s a collection of short pieces, mostly dark fantasy.
I was wondering if you’d be interested in doing a review on your blog.
If so, please email me: news@apolitical.info. Let me know what file format is easiest for you, and I’ll send you a free copy.
You can download a sample from the ebook’s page on Smashwords:

I’m also happy to do interviews, guest posts, or giveaways. Just let me know what you’d prefer.
Yours,
James.
