Marketing Monday’s: Discussion of WIP posts.

My recent marketing Monday posts have been focusing on sharing chapters and scenes from my work in progress, tentatively titled “Technomancer”. The story is intended to be a blend of fantasy and science fiction with two primary viewpoint characters, as well as some supporting characters with their own point of view narratives.

To date, I’ve posted the five chapters that form the prologue of the book, and generally introduce the protagonists and antagonists. With yesterday’s post, I began sharing the main body of the book, or the first act if you want to think of it that way.

Why show a work in progress, rather than excepts or other methods of marketing my existing works? It’s a fair question. My problem with continuing to pick scenes from my other work revolves around two facts:

My other works are Erotic Science Fiction, which means some scenes are not really suitable for public posting. As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t object to posting or sharing these scenes, but I also don’t want this blog to become an erotic publishing platform. Spoilers will come to light if I continue sharing elements from my published books. I have several scenes from “A New Past” that would make good teasers for marketing, but they either require knowledge of what has come before them, or they will spoil something that I hope the reader will discover in the narrative. This is especially true for books two and three in the series, since they will reveal things that come before them. Neither type of spoiling is how I want to promote my work.

For these two reasons, I’ve been focusing on my current work in progress to build your desire to read the full tale. I won’t be posting every chapter or scene here. I will try to share scenes that build tension and engage readers with the main characters. You’ll have to let me know if I’m successful. Like the posts or leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
