As many of you who read these pages know, On The Surface, Book 1 in my
Brothers In Blue series and first romantic suspense, releases worldwide on September 29, 2017. Amazon,
Barnes and Noble, KOBO, you name the book outlet and, thanks to The Wild Rose
Press, I – rather, On The Surface – will be there. For all the world to see!
So how, exactly, does one go about getting the world to…well…see it?
Tweets, FaceBook posts and well-run blog tours help some. But, what
else could I do to get the word out I wondered? Then an idea arrived at my
door. Literally. The local shopping guide. Of the paper and ink variety.
Circulation of a few hundred thousand.
When my first book came out in 2009, and having been a communications and
public relations specialist in my former life, the press release
was my go to promotional device. I’d sent one to them at that time they were happy to
publish. Why not try again?
There’s only one problem. I’ve always been good at promoting others and
their message. When it comes to tooting my own horn, not so much.
The whole who, what, where, when, why and how comes easily enough. The
facts and a bit of a tease. Like this.
On The Surface, Book 1 in
the Brothers In Blue series, is the
latest book release from local author Margo Hoornstra. Available in both
electronic and print formats at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, KOBO and other venues
where books are sold, On The Surface
is the story of one man’s revenge turned to redemption.
Then to add insight into the story. Using the entire blurb would be a
bit much, don’t you think? With a general audience and all, better to keep it
generic, and definitely PG.
Brad Collins is a bounty hunter more by necessity than choice. Determined to bring in the felon who ruined his
life, he’s soon neck deep in a different situation he never saw coming.
Keep them reading with a little more to come...on.
On The Force, Book 2 of the Brothers In Blue series, is set to release in the fall of 2018.
Personalize with a touch of bio.
A city girl turned country woman,
Margo enjoys hikes around the wide open spaces of her home, hates to cook and
loves to read. With the kids and grandkids near, she and her husband reside
in Potterville.
Now for a catchy headline. How about one of these?
