Hello hello, dear readers! I've a few things to share with you today and wanted to just congeal it all into one post.
There's still a week left to enter the giveaway of Running into the Darkness. Be one of twenty-five readers to get your free copy. As you know, I've been prepping for the marketing your eBook article and have received several tips from my fellow participating authors - one of which was a giveaway, which I'd never tried before. Thus this giveaway of RITD was born! Click below to enter.
And yes, the marketing article is coming next week! I'm looking forward to sharing with you the various practical things I've done to find readers for my book. Then there are the ways other participating authors have championed their work too, and I'm so grateful for their participation. It's going to be chock full of simple things you too can do to interest readers, so tell all of the writers you know and don't miss it!
Lastly, I have a book recommendation for all of you suspense lovers out there - especially if you like an interesting heroine. Gingerbread Man by Maggie Shayne is an intriguing story I read last weekend that kept me guessing, and as regular readers know, that's pretty hard to do. The red herring was obvious early on, but it wasn't until well into the second half of the story that I was certain of the killer. There was also an element I didn't see coming until probably the final quarter of the novel. I really like stories that keep me guessing.
Be warned - the storyline centers around a pedophile serial killer and the cop who jumps on the trail. This trail takes him to a small lakeside town where he meets a woman shattered by tragic events from the past. But it's this woman who could be his greatest asset in hunting down the sick pervert who preys on the innocent - if only he could get her to remember.
Like I said, this was a surprising freebie and I ended up enjoying the mystery element in the storyline. The overall writing style, however, needs strengthening. Too much pronoun usage kept me gritting my teeth, but once the story grabbed and got moving it wasn't quite as grating. The love story aspect between the hero and heroine also was a bit much, but that's likely just because I find romance annoyingly sappy and unrealistic.
So there you have it, folks! With the Halloween season rapidly approaching, Gingerbread Man might be your ticket. Watch next week for the marketing article, and don't forget to sign up to win a free copy of Running into the Darkness before the opportunity dwindles.
