Want your E-book reviewed?

Wed, 24 Nov 2010 14:10:57 -0500

It’s still hard to find critics and bloggers who’ll accept E-books for review. (Digital revolution? WHAT digital revolution?) Fortunately The Reviewer Yellow Pages, a labor of love from book blogger Christy Pinheiro, contains a section on reviewers who actually own digital readers and who are enthusiastic about reviewing E-books. For free. Check it out:

Amazon has picked Tell No Lie, We Watched Her Die...

Wed, 10 Nov 2010 13:56:08 -0500

…for one of its new marketing programs. Just go to the book link below and you’ll see a GREEN BOX in the right-hand column that says “Read first chapter free.” Click that and you’ll get said chapter on your PC, Mac, Kindle, iPad, iPhone, Droid, Blackberry—pretty much anything outside of chisel-ready stone. The chapter will appear in a Kindle-like window complete with Kindle-like navigation. There’s even a button that allows you (if I may be so bold) to buy the complete book.

Give it a shot. It’ll only take a couple of minutes of your time to read. You have nothing to lose—and you might gain a few laughs at my expense. Many thanks.

TELL NO LIE, WE WATCHED HER DIE

The lit-crit take: A character-driven thriller, centering on themes of celebrity, addiction and survival.

The pure plot pitch: The sex tape of a famous actress suddenly turns up on the internet, showing her on the last night of her life. The full version is being offered for sale, and the reason for its high price goes way beyond celeb voyeurism. The video also contains a clue to who killed her. That’s why everyone is—literally—dying to see it.

THE SEVENTH COMPASS POINT OF DEATH is now on Amazon, the Kindle Store, B&N, the iBookstore and smashwords.com (see instant links below).

THE LIT-CRIT TAKE: A character-driven thriller, centering on the themes of terrorism, understanding and hope.

THE PURE PLOT PITCH: Here’s bad day: Guy sets out to rob a bank but ends up pulling a carjacking, and when he’s arrested a body is found in the trunk. The victim is a Sunni community leader, and why was he killed? Who killed him? The search for answers takes me into a homegrown Islamic terror underground, into plots, counterplots, deceptions and love affairs, all leading to an attack on a major NYC landmark.

”The Audacity of Taupe.” The New York Times on Obama’s redesigned Oval Office.

THE LOWER MANHATTAN BOOK OF THE DEAD

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 14:07:26 -0400

It’s now on Amazon, the Kindle Store, B&N, iPad and smashwords.com

The lit-crit take: A character-driven thriller, centering on themes of redemption, responsibility and spiritual freedom.

The pure plot pitch: Just before he dies in a downtown hospital, a doctor passes along the half-formula for a powerful new hallucinogenic drug. Find the other half, and you’ve got a miracle drug—one that can save lives, save the world, and make a lot of money. Which, of course, makes it worth killing for.

Ads in E-Books (Part 2)

Publishers are talking about adding advertising to e-books, but it turns out the trend is nothing new. A friend of mine just sent me this 2007 story from the NY Times about the ads (mostly for cigs) that appeared in paperbacks during the 1970s and early 80s. Interesting stuff.

New Thriller Sells More E-Books Than Hardcovers

Weeks after Amazon.com said that it is now selling more electronic books than hardcovers, a leading book publisher said one of its prominent new titles is generating greater e-book unit sales than hardcover unit sales during its first week on sale

Laura Lippman’s thriller, “I’d Know You Anywhere,” went on sale Aug. 17, and in its first five days sold 4,739 e-books and 4,000 physical hardcovers, said News Corp.’s HarperCollins Publishers…
